Early outs can negatively impact student completion of assignments and instructional learning. Checking the student out prior to that should only be reserved for doctor’s appointments and family emergencies. Please be sure to bring a note to excuse the early out.

  11. Goals for kindergarten • Have your child reading and writing by the end of the year • Have them ready for 1st grade • Independence • Be a proud and successful student • Fall in love with learning and school!

  12. Homework • Daily Reading (Please read to your child each day) • Reading Folder: books and other reading materials (initial folders starting next week) (15 minutes daily) • Sight word practice (coming soon) • Because of the direct correlation between a student reading nightly at home and their reading success, students who do not have their reading folder signed nightly will be required to sit and read during recess beginning on Monday, September 10th. Students are required to read Monday through Thursday and 1 day of the weekend. • The kindergarten Accelerated Reader goal is for the student to read 50 books each 9 weeks to meet their goal. There is an incentive party each 9 weeks for students who meet their goal. Students do not have to read 50 different titles, they can read a book more than once, but they must have logged at least 50 books on their reading log.
