Welcome to Kindergarten!

If you need help finding the primary composition notebook 
(pages: top 1/2 blank, bottom 1/2 lined) on the kindergarten student supply list, it can be found at the following stores:



A couple of dates to mark on your calendar:

·         On Saturday, August 16th we will be sprucing up the school and having ice cream!  This is an all day event for all families (come and go as your schedule allows).  It begins at 8:00 a.m.   Child care provided 10 am-noon by National Junior Honor Society members.

·    Cologne Academy’s Kindergarten team welcomes you and your incoming kindergartener to attend our Kindergarten Open House on August 19th, 5:30-6:30.  You and your child will have an opportunity to start the year off by visiting the classroom together, meeting the teacher, and getting acquainted with the school while exploring our self-directed stations.  We hope you will take this opportunity to get to know fellow kindergarten parents and classmates. 

·         Immediately following the Kindergarten open house is New Family Orientation for all grades (in the cafeteria) from 6:30-7:30 p.m, August 19th.  The children are invited to join their future classmates and teachers on the playground while parents/guardians attend the New Family Orientation in the cafeteria.  

·         Pre-conferences will be held on Tuesday, August 26th from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.  This will be a chance for you and your child(ren) to meet their teacher, drop off school supplies, turn in completed forms, pick up their bus pass, ask questions, etc…  Go to www.mysignup.com/caconferences to schedule your conference time.   During the  conference, we will meet briefly with your kindergarten student for an informal reading assessment. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
