Welcome

Mrs. Dry's 

Kindergarten Class

 Web Page!

Where We've Got Miles of Smiles!

Dear Parents,  

Please note that I send home a weekly Friday letter with the most current and up to date information!  Take time to read over it on Friday's just incase there is something you may need to know about school on Monday!  You will find it in the front pocket of their BEE Notebook!

Please remember to look for your child's BEE NOTEBOOK (Bring Everything Everday) every night.  Check inside for special notes, ect. and be sure to sign it every night and send back to school the next day. 

Remember to read with your child and to your child every night.  We will be sending home little readers as often as possible! Please read together sign their reading log sheet and send back the next day!  For every 10 books they read on that sheet, your child will get a prize at school! 


                                Thanks For Your Support!
