Welcome to the KA web page! We are so excited for this 2024-2025 school year!

Homework:
The packet should be completed with guidance, however, please do not do the coloring or writing for them. On each "Weekly News", you will see suggested pacing for the math homework. Please follow this pacing, as it will allow for a direct reinforcement to that daily lesson plan. Please make sure your child writes neatly. Your child must write his/her name on the top of each page in the packet. Every homework page in the packet must be signed by a parent.

Please have your child use the bathroom before leaving home.

All Kindergartners enter and exit through Door 11.
School doors open 7:30am.  School begins 7:45am. Please have your child within this time frame.
Dismissal for Kindergarten is 1:50pm.
Half day and early dismissal is 12:10pm for Kindergarten. 

All children should bring 2 snacks and 2 small drinks on all 12:10 dismissal days. If you are sending in water, please send only the small-sized bottles.  On regular days children will need three small drinks.

Large backpack / lunch box and clean washcloth (to be used as a place mat) are needed daily.
We are a "Nut Free" School. Food may not contain peanuts or tree nuts of any kind. 
 

Children should wear gym uniforms on Tuesdays (gym). Dress down or dress up for birthdays is permissible and encouraged.  

Please practice buttoning pants and zippering skorts.  If girls are wearing the uniform skirt instead of the skort, please replace the button with velcro or a large snap.  Children should know how to put on and zipper their jackets.  Children may not wear boots during the school day .  Please send in a change of shoes during inclement weather.  The children may not wear tie shoes--absolutely no shoe laces. 

*** Just a reminder, as per school policy, sneakers and shoes must be solid black or solid white in color.   No other colored sneakers or shoes are allowed. Kindergartners may wear sneakers to school every day.

Please check your child’s folder each day. Please check the RETURN side of the folder and empty the HOME side of the folder.  

You may reach me by email at [email protected] or place a note in your child’s folder.  Please include Mrs. Blaes on emails. Her email is [email protected]. Please note that I may not have the opportunity to check my email once the students are in the classroom.  However, I will be sure to get back to you at the end of the day. You may also reach me through the main office,  732 251-4812 .  

If there is a change of dismissal while your child is already in school, instructions must be sent to my email, as well as Mrs. Blaes and Mrs. Adami. You must also call the office to reassure that the school is aware of the dismissal change. Mrs. Adami's email is [email protected]. If your child is a bus rider, the email must also be sent to Mrs. Delfino. Mrs. Delfino's email is [email protected]. 
 

Please say the Sign of the Cross, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father and Our Father at home with your child.
