Dear Parents,

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Please sign-up for a November conference time and Mystery Reader!

KidStuff coupon books are left for the oldest child in the school. If you have an older son or daughter, the KidStuff book will be in his or her classroom!

**If you do NOT want to purchase a KidStuff book, please leave it at your spot at the end of the evening**

It is going to be a great year! We look forward to working with you!

Best, Lauren McCusker, Jaime Sullivan, and Karen Hill
