Kindergarten Curriculum North Carolina has recently adopted the Common Core Curriculum. This is a nationally endorsed curriculum. The Common Core philosophy encourages a “deeper, not wider” approach to the curriculum. To access more information visit the DPI website. http://www.ncpublicschools.org/

-FYI- Have your child practice opening the food containers you send in their lunchbox. Please leave water bottles at home. We have a water fountain in our classroom and students can get water anytime. We have too many spills when students bring their own bottles. ALWAYS send your child to school in closed toe shoes. This is for their safety.

Thank you so much for coming! We look forward to a great year! Any Questions? Thank you so much for coming! We look forward to a great year!
