Thank you sharing your child with us this year in Kindergarten. His/her welfare is of utmost concern to us all here at Hanford-Dole. Please remember we follow the N.C. Standard Course of Study and we will have "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND". If you have any questions about our curriculum, please feel free to call for a conference (639-3046). Because we feel that every moment of your child's academic day is important to our success, we can not have any impromptu conferences.
