Preparing For Kindergarten Success:Kindergarten Orientation Procedures with Mrs.

Robertson2012

Meet Mrs. Robertson

My name is Mallory Robertson and this is my second year teaching Kindergarten at Willard

North.  I graduated from Evangel University in 2010 with a degree in Early Childhood/Elementary

Education.  I am currently working on attaining my Masters Degree from William Woods University in

Educational Administration.

I have been married to my wonderful husband for over a year now.  In my spare time I enjoy

spending time with my amazing family and friends, playing golf, reading, and just relaxing

with a good cup of coffee.

Breakfast

Arrive as early as 8:20 a.m. Pay for meals by sending check or cash

to the classroom in the morning. Breakfast prices are $1.00 (full price

unless you qualify for a reduced program) and an extra milk is $0.35.

Conferences

Parent teacher conferences will be held at the end of the first quarter.

If you would like to have a conference at any other time to discuss your child’s progress, please contact your child’s teacher and she will be happy to schedule one.

All teachers have an open door policy and it is important we have open communication with you about your child’s progress.

Dismissal

School is dismissed at 3:00 on Monday and 3:30 Tuesday through Friday.

At Meet the Teacher you will have the opportunity to let your child’s teacher know how your child will be going home (car, bus, walk or Tiger Tales).

If it is necessary for your child to ride home with someone who does not normally pick them up or get home in a different way, a written note must be provided for the office.

Dismissal

Parents who will be picking their child up by car: Students will be picked up at the South doors

unless they have a sibling in 2nd grade or above. These students will be picked up at the East doors.

Write your child’s name on a pick up card (this will be given to you at Meet the Teacher) and hang it from your rear view mirror so that the teachers can read it.

You will be prompted to pull forward to a certain spot, and your child will be put in the car for you.

Lunch

Lunches (like breakfast) should be paid for by bringing cash or check to the classroom.

Students will have 25 minutes to eat lunch.

Lunch prices are $1.85 (full price unless you qualify for the reduced price.) Extra milk is also $.35.

Restroom Breaks

At the beginning of the year, we will take several restroom breaks throughout the day.

Students may also visit the restroom by themselves if the teacher is not teaching a lesson.

Please let your child’s teacher know if your child must use the restroom frequently, or if your child has accidents often.

Some parents choose to keep an extra set of clothing in their child’s backpack just in case.

Snacks

Each month we will send home a snack calendar in your child’s Take Home Folder.

On your child’s snack day, please send enough snacks for every student in the classroom along with 1 extra just in case.

Snacks cannot be homemade but do not have to be individually wrapped.

Please send any utensils that the snack may require.

Positive Behavior Support - GRR GRR is our school wide discipline system. Our goal is to help children learn to make good

behavior choices and take responsibility for their choices.

Each day you will get a behavior report to let you know about your child’s choices.Purple—Excellent!! (I went above and beyond the expectations!)

Blue—Great! (I met all expectations today.)

Green—Oops (I was given a warning for my behavior. –Safety Seat)

Yellow—Caution (I was given a warning and my behavior did NOT stop! -Buddy Room) Red—Stop! (I had to call home. -Focus Room) 

Take Home Folders

Each day your child will bring a folder home.

Please check this folder for important papers such as permission slips, student work, and other notes.

Folders should be sent back to school the following day.

Please remove all papers from your child’s folder daily.

background check prior to working with our students.
