Thank you so much for attending Parent Night! I look forward to partnering with you to ensure a successful school year for your child. If you were unable to join us, I have the handouts in your child’s folder today, and you can find the slides from the presentation by clicking this link: Kindergarten Parent Night Slides While these slides don’t capture everything shared during our hour and a half meeting, they cover the main topics we discussed.
Transportation Change Requests: We’ve been informed by several parents that the email address for transportation changes is currently not working. For now, please use the following email address for any transportation changes: cesattendance@madisoncity.k12.al.us. Our tech department is working to resolve the issue with the original email address, and we will notify you once it’s fixed. Thank you to the parents who brought this to our attention!
Fall Picture Day:
On Tuesday, August 27, Greg Machen Photography will be at Columbia to take Fall pictures. These will be the pictures used in the school yearbook. In about two weeks, you’ll receive a proof to review and purchase if you’d like. If your child is absent on picture day, don’t worry, a make-up date will be scheduled.
Rest Mats:
Rest mats are also coming home today. After washing the mat, please have your child practice rolling it up independently. We ask that you return the rest mat on Monday.
Poetry Notebooks:
Poetry notebooks are in backpacks today. I hope you enjoy cozying up with your child to read the poems together. Please leave the poems in the notebook and send it back to school on Monday.
A Glance at Next Week:
-
Reading: Identifying beginning sounds, focusing on Letter Experts for Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, and Uu.
-
Math: Showing, counting, and writing the numbers 6 and 7.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership! Also, thank you to the many families who brought boxes of tissues and ziploc bags to Open House and Parent Night!! I always appreciate your donations to the class.
