Our names are LeAnn Sulecki and Michelle Rawson.\u00a0 We are the Kindergarten teachers here at OakmanElementary School.\u00a0 We hope this letter will help answer a few questions you might have. \u00a0A more detailed letter explaining how we do, what we do, will be sent home in the near future.<\/p>\n
The most important thing we need from you, starting today, is THE<\/b> phone number we can reach mom or dad at during the day.\u00a0 Kindergarteners get sick, have accidents, etc\u2026 and me MUST<\/b> be able to reach a parent or guardian!!\u00a0 Please, Check the phone number on our class list and make sure it is the number at which you can be reached.<\/p>\n
The first day of school is a big day for you and your child.\u00a0 We both believe that a good parent-teacher relationship is necessary for maximum school success.\u00a0 Throughout the year, we will communicate with you as much as possible through several ways.\u00a0 There will be an Open House, Parent\/Teacher conferences, phone calls, and notes such as this.\u00a0 The most important method of communication is through our school Blog.\u00a0 We post the Common Core State Standards that we will be teaching each week and every day we will post the homework assignments, upcoming events, and other information you will find helpful.\u00a0 Please feel free to comment or ask questions on our blogs or call the school at 827-6500 and leave a message with Ms. Rose.\u00a0 We will call you back as soon as we can.<\/p>\n
Your child’s regular and prompt attendance is crucial to his\/her success.\u00a0 I can’t emphasis this point enough.\u00a0 Most kindergarten learning activities are group oriented and involve interaction with classmates.\u00a0 Therefore, it is important for your child to be present and on time each and every day.\u00a0 Please help your child understand how important school attendance is, unless they are sick or there is an emergency.\u00a0 If your child must be absent or late, please call the school at 827-6500 and let Ms. Rose know.<\/p>\n
We will be having a small snack each morning.\u00a0 We understand that it’s difficult to get kids to eat a proper breakfast some mornings and that all day kindergarten is a big change for them.\u00a0 Please send in some healthy snacks for around 30 students at the beginning of each month, or on one day during the month.\u00a0 Some examples of healthy snacks include: pretzels, graham crackers, Goldfish crackers, fruit, vegetables, yogurt, cheese, crackers, etc\u2026\u00a0 Please do not send in any sugary snacks. \u00a0Also, students may bring in a water bottle with a lid and their name on it to keep at their desk during the day. \u00a0This helps eliminate leaving the classroom for water breaks. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Your son\/daughter will need to bring a backpack each and every day.\u00a0 It will have a homework folder in it.\u00a0 One side of the folder is for papers that stay home and the other side is for papers you need to fill out and send back to school.\u00a0 This will be especially important now, at the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n We just want to say that we are very excited to begin working together with you to make this year a great start to your child’s school career!\u00a0 Please, feel free to ask us about anything you need\/want to know and let’s have a great 2013-2014 school year!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michelle Rawson<\/p>\n LeAnn Sulecki<\/p>\n Oakman Elementary Kindergarten Teachers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to Kindergarten, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 9-3-13 Our names are LeAnn Sulecki and Continue reading →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":349,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/349"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/rawsonm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
