Dear Parents/Guardians:
Thank you for your cooperation during the kindergarten assessment process. The information is helpful
in allowing us to understand each child’s specific skills which will contribute to making the coming
school year successful. Your child’s skills indicated he/she is ready for a great start in kindergarten.
In order to better facilitate the start of kindergarten, please note and save the following important information.
SPECIAL SNACKS - Each child will take a turn providing the class with a snack during his/her "Super Kid" week and again for his/her birthday. Some suggestions would be grapes, muffins, rice-krispies treat, popcorn, pretzels, and cheese and crackers. Use your imagination! Your child will, also, be asked to contribute a snack for a food related experience throughout the year. Watch for your child's name and snack turn on your monthly calendar for birthday and super kid only. (Your child's name will
appear in the box on the day on which he/she should bring snack.) Please include enough snacks
for each student and send snacks that are easily served (no sheet cakes); treat bag for birthdays are discouraged. A special snack is sufficient. You will receive a calendar for the month of September on the first day of school.
DAILY SNACKS - On days that snack is not provided by the birthday student or super kid, you will need to provide one nutritious snack for your child. This should not be dessert items or bags of chips of any sort, rather something nutritious; for example, fruit, cheese and crackers, popcorn, pretzels, veggies, or one-half sandwich. Due to the large number of students with peanut allergies, please do not send any nut products.
Drink money will be $65. Please return this in an envelope with amount enclosed. Please send checks (no cash) made payable to O.L.L. This money covers morning snack drink only not lunch drink. Send drink money with school supplies at Open House.
SUPPLIES - Kindergarten will supply the majority of materials your child will need this year. It is required that your child have an extra large backpack labeled clearly with your child's name on the top of the outside.
We ask that each child contribute:
2 disposable instant cameras (35 mm) $20 photo fee for film development during the
year – checks made payable to OLL
