Kindergarten Back-to-School Night, a meeting for parents only, is Monday, August 14th at 5:30.
Supplies that we usually ask for in kindergarten include glue sticks, white board markers* (*fine line, no chisel tip), liquid hand soap, and Clorox Wipes/alcohol wipes. These are not mandatory, but just appreciated donations. Check Back-to-School sales for these items-- we appreciate it!!
School begins on Wednesday, August 16, 2023-- ALL KINDERGARTEN SESSIONS WILL RUN FROM 8:15 to 11:35, until October 2nd. 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
Here is another great list of kindergarten readiness ideas.
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.
We look forward to meeting you all in August!
