Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa


Last Week


It felt so good to be back with your children last week. I'm blessed to have a job that I love and brings me so much joy each day. 


Our 50th Day celebration was loads of fun. I hope your child showed off each of the activities from the day. It is hard to believe that we will finish our first trimester next week. Each year seems to move more quickly than the last. 


I was able to conference with about 1/2 of our families last week and look forward to meeting with the rest of you this week. Thank you for prioritizing this time together. Just a reminder that the children come to the conference too. It is nice to hear both teacher and student perspectives. 


Never hesitate to email me (ldelapa@sjschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.”

Due to an allergy, please refrain from sending snacks that contain any kind of nut. Thank you!

We will snack in the morning each day (our lunch time is 12:25). It is not necessary for you to send a snack with your child, as the leader provides it each day.  Thank you for sending a leak-proof water bottle with your child each day.

This from Mr. Hernandez---


Dear Families:

As shared at Back to School Night, we are piloting new ELA instructional materials in grades K-5. This resource offers a rigorous, knowledge building approach for our learners, engaging students in reading, writing, listening and speaking. While our commitment to addressing essential ELA standards has not changed, the order and manner in which standards are assessed in this pilot may be different than in past years. As such, you may not see a reported measure for every ELA standard on your child’s report card. Please also refer to the comments provided by your child’s teacher, as well as ongoing communication and conferencing, regarding your child’s progress in ELA. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.


Thank you for returning Library books by Tuesday of each week. 


Just a reminder that the students must wear gym shoes each Friday.


Please, please label your child's outdoor clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.


Upcoming Events


Hearing and Vision screening will be done on 11/18 and 11/19. Please return the purple form sent home on Friday.


Friday, 11/22--Progress Reports sent home.


Monday, 11/15--Brown School Thanksgiving Lunch for the students.


Thanksgiving Break--11/27-11/29

Thank you to the parents who helped make this a special day for our children. 👏 We loved seeing the 1st grade program on Wednesday afternoon. They did a wonderful job!

        Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa Last Week Thank you all for making the effort to spend time together listening to, encouraging and loving on your children during our conferences. The expectation is that we hold conferences with 100% of our families. I appreciate that you all made that easy for me this year. I really enjoyed our time together. Our turkeys decorating the hallway look wonderful. Each one is unique and the entire Brown School family loves seeing each new one hung. If your child has not done one yet, there is still time. I'm happy to send home another turkey too if needed.  Never hesitate to email me ( l delapa@s jschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.” ______________________________ ______________________________ __ Snack and Leaders Your child will come home with the Leader bag the night before his/her leader day.

        Kindergarten Connection Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa Last Week It was great to be back together again this week. We enjoyed sharing how we spent our time off. We realized that we really missed each other. 😌 The class did a great job getting right back into the swing of our daily routines and procedures. They are acting like 1st graders more and more each day. 😃  There was an Exterior Lock Down drill on Thursday. It was during our Music time so it was good for our students to practice in a place other than our room. Everyone did well with Mrs. Miltibarger.  Never hesitate to email me ( l delapa@s jschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.” ______________________________ ______________________________ __ Snack and Leaders Your child will come home with the Leader bag the night before his/her leader day.
