At this time, Mrs. Ferreira and I will be able to speak to the students and their families, distribute more detailed information concerning the upcoming year, and answer any questions you may have.  

There will be a sign-up sheet for individual assessment times, so please do not leave without choosing a time slot. Each assessment will be 30 minutes long. Assessments will be on Wednesday, August 29^th, Thursday, August 30^th, and Friday, August 31^st. The first full day of kindergarten will be on Tuesday, September 4^th.

We are looking forward to meeting our new students and families. See you on Monday evening, August 27^th, at our Kindergarten Orientation.

 

Upcoming News

Please keep kindergarten in mind when doing your spring-cleaning. It would be so helpful to us if anyone could donate any old trinkets, small toys, pencils, etc. to our Treasure Chest that would interest the children in kindergarten next year. Thank you for thinking about us!

We participate in the Scholastic Book Program.  Many of you are very aware of Scholastic Books because you have older children who have attended or who are attending St. Cecilia School. If this is your first experience, we would like to encourage you to consider building your child's library. It is a fairly inexpensive way to purchase books and it also supports our classroom library. When you purchase books, we get  "points," which enable us to receive books for the classroom. Ordering these books is easily done online. The easiest and best method of payment is credit or debit card right on the Scholastic Website. We will receive notification when you place an order and will be watching for your books to arrive at school.  Thank you in advance for supporting an important part of our kindergarten year. Here is an easy link to the website.   www.scholastic.com   Our classroom code is H3CW8.

Please consider joining the A+ School Rewards Program from Stop & Shop. St. Cecilia School earns cash for every purchase you make throughout the year. Just log on to  www.stopandshop.com/aplus  and register online using your Stop & Shop Card. If you registered last year, you do not need to register again this year.  The registration code for St. Cecilia School is #08933.  Please encourage all your family and friends to register too! It is a great way to support our school!

St. Cecilia School will continue to participate in the  Box Tops for Education  program. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10 cents and they quickly add up to real cash. To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school in a baggie. Please label the baggie  Kindergarten  so we can get credit for our class. The class that brings in the most Box Tops every month will be receiving a free dress down day!  Go Kindergarten!
