On rainy days if you send your child into school in rain boots, please pack dry shoes (sneakers), so that we can leave the wet rain boots in the lockers and keep our carpet dry, thank you!
If your child does not yet have a set of clothes to change into should an accident occur, please send in a Zip Loc Baggie of extra clothes. Accidents happen in kindergarten and many children prefer to change into their own clothes rather than borrow.
Thank you!
