Dear Kinder Bear Families,

It’s so hard to believe, we’ve come this far! Your little kindergartener has grown so much and worked so very hard this school year!! We still remember that day…the first day of school August 17th!  We are so proud of ALL their accomplishments! Here we would like to thank you for this incredible journey with you and your students. Each child has become a special part of our hearts. We have enjoyed watching each blooming moment!!!

Starting from the first day of June, we will have a special summer program, called Summer Camp. We are planning to have field trips and Splash Days this summer. When we have no field trip, we will still work on Language Arts/Literacy and Math to keep the kids busy in the summer and have them feel more comfortable for the next adventures in public schools.

Important events in May:

* In honor of Mother’s Day on May 9th, we will be celebrating Mother’s Day on Friday May 7th and making presents and Mother’s Day Cards for mommies. Happy Mother’s Day!! 

* Teacher/Parent Conference will be held on Thursday May 20th, 9am-5pm. A sign up sheet for the conference will be posted on the counter near the school’s entrance door. It will be available virtually through the Zoom, by phone, or in person depending on your preference. The conference will last 30 minutes for each family. We welcome you to bring any concerns or questions to the conference.

 * Thursday May 27th, Pre-K and Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony. We will be having the Graduation Ceremony on the school field and starting at noon. After the ceremony, we will have a family potluck. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the counter in the lobby. Your support is greatly appreciated! We look forward to seeing you and your families at the ceremony!!
