  1. Welcome to Mrs. Hoopes’Kindergarten Class Room 112

  2. About Me…

  3. Arrival & Dismissal • AM Class * 8:45-11:30 • PM Class * 12:35-3:15 Early Dismissal Days • AM Class * 8:45-10:20 • PM Class * 11:00-12:30 Late Start Days (inclement weather) • AM Class * 10:45-12:35 • PM Class * 1:30-3:15 Punctuality is imperative. Our day begins immediately and any late arrivals disrupt the learning of not only your child but the other children as well. However, if something does come up and you are late bringing your child to school you must take them to the office. If there is a change in dismissal please email me the night before or call the office. PM must designate car rider or walker.

  4. Breakfast/lunch • AM students will enter through the Agnew doors every day beginning at 8:30 am. They will be served (free) breakfast in the cafeteria. • PM students will enter through the Kindergarten doors and eat (free) lunch in the classroom. • Food will be offered to every child. If you do not want your child to eat at school you must communicate that with them. • A breakfast/lunch calendar will be emailed monthly via Mrs. O’Neill

  5. Curriculum

  6. Birthdays • Edible treats are not permitted. If you would like to send a non-food item you are welcome to but not required to do so.

  7. Activity Fee • In Kindergarten we ask for a $10 activity fee to cover the pancake breakfast for our pancake party in December and pizza and craft for our 100th Day/Valentine’s Party in February. It makes it a bit easier to collect all of the money in the beginning of the school year at once instead of asking for it several times throughout the year.

  8. Homework will begin in October. • Some will be sent home in book form to be kept at home and just send pages as they are due. • Weekly Homework Agenda (cover page) will be posted on my webpage. • Electronic copies of homework books will be posted on my webpage, should you need to print out additional copies. • Writing is challenging for beginning Kindergarteners. We do Kid Writing in Kindergarten. Be patient with your child and DO NOT spell words for them. Although, you may help your child sound out words. • Read daily with your child. • Practicing with your child is imperative to their success. Please complete homework with your child and practice the letters or numbers sent home if you see they need more practice. Practice word wall words. The better you child reads those the easier it will be for them to learn to read.

  9. Field Day • Field Day is on May 20, 2020 • AM and PM BOTH come in the AM. • AM arrives at regular time. • PM meets at the green door at 9:00. • There will NOT be another Field Day in the PM. • All are welcome to watch on the field.

  10. End of the year Kindergarten Show • End of the year show is on June 3, 2020 from 9:30am-10:30am • AM and PM BOTH come at that time. There will NOT be another show in the PM. • All are welcome. • Family Picnic to follow. BYOP (Bring Your Own Picnic)

  11. Kindness • Kindergarteners are expected to have good manners and self-control. • Saying please and thank you, being patient with classmates, using kind words, keeping their hands and feet to themselves, being quiet and sitting still when necessary are a few things we practice in school. • Please discuss these expectations • and practice at home too.

  12. Independence& Responsibility • Your child is responsible for their… • Mailbox • Red folder • Jackets • School bag

  13. Behavior Plan • PBIS Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports • Class Expectations • Yellow Notes

  14. Calm down corner • A “Calm Down Corner” (a.k.a. Think Space, Peace Corner, Safe Place, etc.) is a space within the classroom that students can utilize to regulate their physical and emotional state. The purpose is to help them regain behavioral control not punishment. • Students have to make up any missed work if they spend a long period of time in the Calm Down Corner.

  15. Conferences & Report Cards • Report cards are distributed in November, March, and June. • Conferences are held in November and March. • Nov. conferences are full-day. No school for Kindergarten Students during Nov. conferences. March are upon request. March conferences are early dismissals. • Limited evening conferences are available, so please only sign up for evening conferences if you CANNOT come during the day.

  16. Communication • If you need to contact me, email is the best way. If it is an emergency call the office and they will notify me. • Always check my website and school calendar for information. • You will get an email from me each week with a link to my website informing you of what is going on in our class and what your child is learning.

  17. Absences • If your child is absent you must call Hillcrest at (610) 853-4520 AND send an absent note upon their return. Otherwise they will be considered unexcused and truant after 10 absences.

  18. Thank You for… • sharing your child with me. • encouraging your child to always do their best. • practicing with your child at home so they can be their most successful self! I look forward to working with your child as well as you. We work together as a team to ensure your child’s success as a Hillcrest Kindergartener
