Dear Parents/Guardians of our September 2022 kindergarten students,

We are very excited to welcome you and your child to our Cortes Island School community.
We invite you to our Orchard Circle Garden, which is an extension of our classroom. We thought this would be a great place to meet up! We can chat on the grass/picnic tables, and you can see our garden and visit our fairy forest for story time and activities.
In addition, we will have Welcome to Kindergarten Bag with great children’s books, art materials, and information about the primary program for each family to take home.
Claudia Barnes - Cortes Island School’s K-1 teacher will be there to meet you and have an informal visit under the apple trees.
When/Directions:
Tuesday, May 17th between 10:45 to 12 noon.
We will put up some balloons on the fence which you will see from the parking area. Head to the left side of the building to find the garden.
Please note that in September we have plans for a gradual entry for K students which will give K children time to adjust to classroom routines and allow for relationship building with teachers. We will send out a notice with details of this in late August.
If you are unable to attend, please call Janet in the school office and let her know. 935 6313. We may be able to set up an alternate time for you to drop by the school in the next few weeks.
Claudia Barnes
