Dear Kindergarten Parents,
We are so grateful that the state has fully funded full-day kindergarten. We believe strongly that this will help support the success of our students. I am writing to share with you how we will structure our kindergarten program at Pine Lane for the 2019-2020 school year.
After looking at your feedback and evaluating our resources, we have decided to provide four full-day kindergarten classes and also accommodate AM half-day kindergarten. Please be aware that half-day students will receive instruction up to lunch at 12:20 pm. You will then be expected to pick up your child at that time. The students will be spread across our full-day classes. There will not be a separate half-day classroom. Students will also only have one day of specials throughout the week. There will not be a separate half-day classroom. We will also not be offering a PM section. If you have any questions about this please feel reach out to me at cdstairs@dcsdk12.org or Jill Casas at jccasas@dcsdk12.org.
Also, please remember that if you had paid the down payment to reserve a seat in full-day kindergarten you will be reimbursed. Please refer to previous communications from our bookkeeper, Vickie Reynolds.
Lastly, if I could solicit your help to remind any friends who have children who will be turning 5 prior to October 1 to register for kindergarten now. Historically, we receive 20+ registrations in late July and early August which leaves us scrambling to ensure we have the appropriate staffing.
We are excited for the Class of 2032 to start at Pine Lane!
Sincerely,
Chris Stairs
Principal
