Welcome to kindergarten!
The beginning of the school year is an adjustment for both parents and students. Please be understanding of your child when they might seemed extra tired. Allow your child the time to talk; They might not want to talk at certain times, like right when they get home from school. Have a patient and ready ear; they will share with you! I will certainly communicate with you if your child is having trouble adjusting at school. Please feel free to communicate with me any questions or concerns that you might have. My school e-mail address is kburkholder@hmsk8.org. I am excited about our year together and the growth that each child will make during the school year.
