Information from the Kindergarten Teachers

We hope this information provides answers and guidance to your questions.  For additional information, please contact your child's teacher.  We look forward to working with you and your child!

Appropriate Attire

The children participate in Physical Education twice a week.  In addition, weather permitting, the class will go outside for recess each day.  Therefore, we recommend that children wear sneakers daily.  Children should also be appropriately dressed for outdoor play.  Boots, gloves/mittens, heavy jackets, snow pants and hats are a necessity for cold weather. 

Lunch & Snack Time

• Lunch:  Each class is scheduled for a 30-minute lunch period. For the 2020-21 school year, lunch will take place in the classroom.  We recommend that children do not buy lunch during the first few months of school.  The process can be overwhelming to kindergartners,making lunch selections can add additional stress to the children.  By November, most kindergartners are comfortable enough with the procedures to begin ordering his/her lunch.
• Please label your child's lunch bag/box.
• For the 2020-21 school year, all students are able to receive free breakfast and lunch through New York State and the USDA
• Snack time: Please provide a small, nutritious snack for your child every day that will be easy for him/her to manage and one that does not require refrigeration.  Some suggestions are crackers, graham crackers, fruits, vegetables, rice cakes, raisins, pretzels, granola bars, applesauce or fruit bars.

Specials (Co-Curriculars)

Each week, kindergartners participate in co-curricular classes: Art, Music, Physical Education (twice weekly), Library, and Computer Class.  The classes are 45-minutes in length and are taught by a teacher certified in the area of expertise. For the 2020-21 school year, the Art, Music, Library, and Computer teachers will come to the classroom.
