There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it is going to be a butterfly.
Kindergarten is the first steps in a life long journey of learning!

        In just a few short weeks your child will be joining us at St. Joseph School to begin the 2017-2018 school year. What an exciting time this is! Whether they are finally joining their siblings at school or walking through our doors for the first time, I want to welcome your family to our St. Joseph School Family. My name is Mrs. Clair and I will be your child’s teacher for this special kindergarten year. I have been at St. Joseph's for many years and will help you get to know the school, the teachers and most importantly our Kindergarten Green families.

      On Wednesday August 23, 2017 you and your family are invited to attend two special events to help you get ready for your first day of school on Monday August 28, 2017

KINDERGARTEN STUDENT ORIENTATION
SJS Hall B AUGUST 23, 2017 9:00 a.m.

       We will gather in Hall B (just come to the school office and someone will help you find it :-). You will meet Mrs. Conroy, our school principal, and the other kindergarten teachers, Miss Fleming, Mrs. Barry, and our class aide Mrs. Kulik. In the hall please join the other Kindergarten Green families in the section near the large green flag with KG on it. I will meet you there! Mrs. Conroy will say a few words before we will walk to our classroom for a quick peek at the classroom and a short story. The parents will remain in the Hall to meet with Mrs. Conroy and the specials teachers.
 

PARENT ONLY​ ORIENTATION K-G Classroom (Room 102)​
AUGUST 23, 2017 7:00 p.m.

       Parents this will be our back-to-school presentation and it is very important that at least one parent attends. I will be reviewing all of our policies and procedures to help make the transition to school as easy as possible on you and your child. One of the first things we can do to help make the first day of school smooth is to bring your child’s bulky supplies: construction paper, drawing paper , art smock (in a zip-lock bag with your child’s name on the bag) and rest towels (with your child’s name clearly visible on the towel) with you this evening. By bringing these supplies early your child will have less to carry on Monday. The remainder of the supplies can be sent with your child on Monday. Please be sure their name is on each and every supply. Yes......each crayon, pencil, marker and colored pencil must have their name on it. Don’t forget to sent their special cubby can; decorated with their name and things that they like on it, we will need it first thing Monday morning.

      The first week of school will be a busy one, Monday we will gather on the blacktop with our families for prayers before walking into school as a class. Beginning Tuesday the children will come directly to the classroom …it will be easy…just follow the teddy bears, we will practice on Monday! We will begin learning about Jesus, read some wonderful stories and do some coloring and drawing. We will also work on getting to know your new kindergarten friends, tour the different parts of the school including our great playground and meet the many teachers and staff who will be helping you this year. I am looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday and beginning our kindergarten adventure!
