In the next few weeks, I will send home a schedule so that you can choose a few times that are convenient for you. I will try to do my best and give you your first choice. My hope is to meet with everyone! ***************************************************** //__ Wiki Page __// I have started a Wiki Page on Westmeade’s Homepage. Go to Faculty and choose my name. There is a link to Ms. Rugaard’s Weekly Wiki. I have included our Daily Schedule and Weekly Newsletters so far but hope to add pictures, upcoming events and ways to help your child at home. I am still learning and experimenting, so bear with me. || __ Box Tops __ I sent home a Box Tops Collection Sheet last week. Use that sheet for the month of September. If you complete it ahead of time, send it in and I will get you another one. Otherwise, turn it in by September 30 (filled completely in or not…we’ll take any amount) so I can turn it into the office. I will send home a new sheet in October. We have started an “unofficial contest” and we want Kindergarten to “win”  J  So…start collecting!!!!! ****************************************************** __ Lunch Monitors __ Each day in the cafeteria, there are as many as 140 students at a time in the cafeteria. We are in need of some parent volunteers who are able to help out from 12:00-12:45 (Kindergarten lunch times). You would simply need to help open milks and ketchup, line students up to throw away garbage, and keep the noise level to a low roar!  J Right now, it is just too much for 2-3 people to handle. If you are interested and available, please let me know. AND…thank you ahead of time!!!!! ||
