Fundraiser Information

"Hello Parents:

I'm sending you this to tell you about the fund raiser the school is currently running.  Due to increased budget cuts, this year's fund raiser is very important to the school.  The catalog you received from your child is full of goodies for your home.  The school receives 40-50% from all items purchased, depending on the product.  The money this year will be going to help support school field trips, teacher grants and free student events.  Any support you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

PTO"

Welcome!

Welcome to Kindergarten!  I am so excited to have your children in my class.  We are going to have a wonderful year!

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I have been teaching for 15 years.  I have been teaching kindergarten for most of my career.  Kindergarten is my favorite!  Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 boys (6 and 8 years old).  I also enjoy working with my family's horses.  In December I will graduate with my Master's Degree in Education:Reading.

There is a lot going on so please visit this blog regularly for the latest news and up to date information.  You are also welcome to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  The best way to get a hold of me is via email.  My email address is pickett_jenny@svvsd.org.

 I will be holding 2 parent orientation meetings.  These meetings are important because I will provide important information about our classroom and the learning kids will be doing throughout the year.  This is not the same information, you received while the children were being assessed before school started.  Please plan to attend one of the parent orientations.  Information at these orientations will be extremely helpful as the year progresses. Keep an eye out for an invitation to the orientation meetings.

Individual picture day is this Friday!  Please sent in picture envelopes if you wish to purchase pictures.

Thank you and keep an eye out for more information on this blog!
