Welcome to the Purple Pod Kindergarten 2014-15 School-Year!

Parents or Guardians, We would like to take a moment to welcome you to this new kindergarten school year in the purple pod! It is going to be exciting! On behalf of Mrs. Beale, Ms. Holder, and Mrs. Weekley, I would just like to say that we will work together throughout the year to turn your babies into future 1st graders! We are excited and can't wait to get started! :) As we begin this school year the students will be taught classroom procedures, various positive reinforcement programs such as the Gotcha tickets or treasure box, etc., locations in the school such as library, lunchroom, gymnasium, music, counselor's office, and the snack shack or office. During the first week or two we do not throw a bunch of academic pressure on the students. It is important to let them get to know their teacher, classmates, pod teachers, areas or locations of importance, classroom procedures and rules as well as consequences of not following the rules. Watch for notes concerning any issues we feel that you need to be aware of in your child's takehome folder on the discipline calendar. Remember if you should have any questions or concerns you have various ways of contacting your child's teacher. You may call the office and leave a message for a return call, ask to be put through to your child's classroom phone to leave a message and we can call you back, go to the school website and click on staff contact and email directly to your child's teacher, or simply place a note in your child's take home folder which will be sent home to you daily through your child's bookbag. If you need to meet with your child's teacher please request a parent/teacher conference. We look forward to working with our kindergarten babies! Ms. Chaney

Final Words of the Kindergarten 2013-14 School Year in Purple Pod

Parents, First of all, we are super proud of our kinder babies of purple pod this year! It has been a fantastic kindergarten adventure this year and we hope that your child loved every second of it just like we did! The students came to us ready and eager to learn. These little sponges have definitely soaked up tons of information while they were with us. Secondly, thank you! Parent support is paramount when it comes to kindergarten! Parents who are willing to give their time, donations, materials, party essentials, ideas or whatever as we go through any given school year is fantastic. We know that we could not make it as successful without you! Thirdly, may all of the students moving on to 1st grade be extremely successful as 1st graders. Staying on top of things and keeping priorties straight may be something you'll need to help your little ones face during 1st grade. There will be more homework, additional information to learn, and new things to explore. Those students who were unable to move on will gain another dose of kindergarten essentials and have another year of age under their belts to absorb the experience. We will be here to help in any way that you may need us. Lastly, Enjoy your summer but practice a little each week so they won't forget the skills they've learned thus far. :) I know I speak for all of the purple pod teachers when I state that we love you all (parents and students) and hope to see you return to Coosada next school-year! Ms. Chaney
