Welcome to Kindergarten!

Dear Kindergarten Families,

 We are excited to welcome you to Kindergarten! We have a fantastic year ahead of diving deep into learning and play together at Hannah Senesh.

The official first day of school is Tuesday, September 3rd! We will meet you in the school gym at 9:00 am.

Please bring:

• labeled healthy snack (kosher and nut-free),
• labeled water bottle,
• change of clothes (labeled, in a Ziploc bag),
• jacket or sweatshirt for your child to keep in their cubby.

• If your child requires medication, please bring them directly to Rivky, the school nurse.

As we are ending at 11:30 AM on the first day, you don’t need to bring lunch. Starting Wednesday, September 4th, please send a packed lunch (kosher dairy/vegetarian) or make sure you have ordered lunch online.

We are responsible for the dismissal of your children and will be maintaining the bus and dismissal lists. Please send all communication, especially regarding bus and pick-up, directly to all four K teachers and Natalie the day before. For last-minute and urgent changes, please send email by 12:00 pm on the day of, in order to receive a confirmation email from the teachers. Teachers will be checking email at this time and creating the day’s final dismissal list. We appreciate your mindfulness, as we are working with children in the afternoon and are unable to check for emails. Thanks for your help in creating smooth transitions!

***Please note, it is our policy that children do not bring toys, electronics (including smartwatches), gum, and candy to school. Please discuss this with your child and ensure backpacks are empty.

Enjoy the last week of summer!
