Hello Bulldog Families! 

I hope everyone is well and our students are as excited to see us as we are to see them! šŸ˜Š  The information below should answer any questions about our timeline at the Elementary re. homeroom teachers, school supplies, Kindergarten Open House, and our Virtual Open House for grades 1-5.

 

In Person Learning Grades 1-5

  • Who is my childā€™s teacher? Teacher ā€œWelcome Lettersā€ will be mailed along with important back to school information on Friday, August, 28th.  Please make sure if you have moved over the summer, the Elementary Office has your updated address.  
  • Dropping off School supplies? If you do not want to send your child with their supplies on the first day of school, grades 1-5 parents may drop off for grades their supplies in the elementary vestibule from 8am-4pm Wednesday, September 2nd  through Friday, September 4th.  Supplies must be marked with your childā€™s first and last name, grade level and homeroom teacherā€™s name.
  • What if I ordered school supplies? If you ordered school supplies through the PTO (First Day School Supplies) they will be delivered to your childā€™s homeroom and waiting for them the 1st day.  

In Person Learning Kindergarten

  • How do I know who my child has for Kindergarten? After screening is completed this week, class lists for Kindergarten will be created.  On Friday, August 28th Kindergarten Parents will receive an email with a ā€œWelcome Letterā€ introducing your childā€™s teacher, your Open House appointment time and important back to school information.  If you do not receive an email with that information for your Kindergarten student, please contact the MUES office on Monday, August 31st.    
  • How will Kindergarten Open House look? Kindergarten Open House will be by appointment only.  Because this is a socially distanced event, we ask that only 1 parent/guardian and the kindergarten student attend the event and that both the adult and child wear masks. You will have a 30-minute appointment time for you and your child to meet the teacher and learn a little bit about Kindergarten.  If you will need some individual time with the teacher, you can schedule an appointment to talk with them at a later time. 
  • How do I handle school supplies? Bring your childā€™s supplies with you when you come for your Kindergarten Open House appointment. 
  • What if I ordered school supplies? If you ordered school supplies through the PTO (First Day School Supplies) they will be delivered to your childā€™s homeroom and waiting for them the 1st day.
