Kindergarten Orientation is Monday, August 15th at 11:00 - 11:30 in rooms K1, K2, and room 1. Class lists will be posted outside the classrooms shortly before.
Supplies that I usually ask for in kindergarten include tissues, glue sticks, white board markers (*fine line, no chisel tip), liquid hand soap, unscented baby wipes, and Clorox Wipes/similar. These are not mandatory, but just appreciated donations. Check Back-to-School sales for these items-- we appreciate it!
School begins on Wednesday, August 17, 2022-- ALL KINDERGARTEN SESSIONS WILL RUN FROM 8:15 to 11:35, until October 3rd. Extended care is available at Union School District Extended Care
You will receive a letter, welcoming you to Alta Vista via email, that will give you more information about the school year.
For kindergarten readiness, the AV kindergarten team highly recommends that your child comes into kindergarten:
- recognizing most letters
- writing his/her name legibly, using one upper-case & the rest lower-case letters
- recognizing numbers to 10 & beyond
- knowing names of basic shapes
- having good cutting/scissor skills
- able to sit attentively for the duration of a picture book
We highly recommend reviewing letter sounds with videos such as this or apps/sites such as starfall.com for a good review of letter recognition and letter sounds.
