This is THE work of kindergarten. Students will learn how to express themselves, work with others, problem solve, and develop persistence across the school day. We lean into The Five Mindsets and Second Step resources, as well as teachable moments during the school day, to guide this learning.

All students are eligible for a free school lunch, or they may bring a lunch from home.

*Please keep in mind that a lunch your child can manage independently will offer them more time to eat! *

Each Friday, students will bring home their Friday Folder. Inside you will find student work and school communication. Please return the folder on Monday.

Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Moats will send a weekly email to share news from their classrooms.

Check our grade level website for "all things kindergarten", such as the AMP and classroom daily schedules.

Social Studies, Science, and Purposeful Play

In kindergarten we alternate Social Studies and Science units, with opportunities to explore deeper during Purposeful Play. If you are curious about what we will be studying, check out our website. If you have an interest, expertise, or materials that support this learning, please reach out to your child's classroom teacher!

Drop off between 7:45-7:55 a.m. and Pick up at 2:35 p.m. Check out Mt. Carbon's expectations for use of <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ysWHVfHDqDjQVf52SgaXvjfSb_gNBdKyzbCvtj2GA-Q/edit?usp=sharing">School Grounds Before, During, and After School</a>.

Send a healthy snack, that your child can manage independently, and a water bottle filled with water only.
