  10. Science Wake County has 3 main science kits for Kindergarten children: • Properties • Weather • Animals 2 x 2

  11. Social Centers Each classroom has a time for social “play” centers. This is an important time for children to learn socialization skills, explore their environment and discover new things through the power of play.

  12. Snack Time Please check with your child’s teacher regarding daily snack procedures. Please remember to send healthy snacks to ensure optimal energy levels and afternoon performance. Thank you! 

  13. Specials Mills Park Elementary offers the following specials: Art, PE, Music, Guidance, Technology and Media Center

  14. Lunch Time in the Cafeteria • Each child will receive a lunch number…please help your child learn his/her lunch number. This number is also their computer log in that will carry with them through high school. • It’s a great idea to prepay by check in the cafeteria and use a lunch account (www.MySchoolBucks.com) You will receive your child’s number at Meet the Teacher. • Don’t forget to help your child practice opening containers at home – small items are difficult for little hands to open!

  15. Recess • Students will go outdoors for recess every day, depending on the weather. Please be sure your child has appropriate clothing for outdoor play. • Please continue to practice using zippers, snaps and buttons!

  16. Dismissal • Please help your child learn their bus number or carpool number. • Please do not walk up to the school during carpool for safety reasons – the line moves quickly and we want to ensure all children are safe. • We have teachers available throughout the building to help with carpool and bus dismissal. • Please send a note when there is a change of transportation for a particular day, week or the remainder of the year.

  17. Thank you Thank you so much for your time and attention today. We are very excited that you have chosen to become a part of the Mills Park Community and we pledge to educate your child in a fun, safe and loving environment. We look forward to a great year, full of new beginnings and exciting experiences. Thank you for letting us be a part of this new adventure. 
