Last Week of Kindergarten!!

 Happy Last Week of Kindergarten!

We have lots of fun planned over the next few days to celebrate the last week of Kindergarten!

Monday, May 24th - FIELD DAY

Virtual Learners:

All of the Field Day activities will be in your PE Course in Schoology! If you have one, wear your gray Kindergarten T-Shirt to show your Kindergarten Spirit!

Face to Face Learners:

Please send your child in their gray Kindergarten T-shirt and in comfy shoes they don't mind getting wet! 

Please also send a change of dry clothes (including underwear) - we have a few events planned with some water, and they will probably want dry clothes to go home in! 

Finally, please send a water bottle with your child's name! We don't want to get too hot on Monday!

Wednesday, May 26th - LAST DAY!

We cannot believe this will be our last day of school! We can't wait to celebrate with a fun class party at 11:00 on Wednesday. The learners will use the link in their Schoology Calendar to join their party! 

Virtual learners, please come by school on Tuesday, May 25th from 7:45 - 8:30 to pick up your party supplies. 

Face to Face learners, school is out at 12:30! Please be sure to make arrangements to have your child picked up then. 

If you are not returning to the district next year, please make sure to send your child with their iPad and charger, so we can collect them. If you are a virtual learner, please make arrangements to return your iPad and charger to the school. All learners returning to CISD next year will keep their iPads through the summer.
