ABCs of Kindergarten

For a parent, I'm sure the beginning of a new school year brings a thousand questions, or more!  So, to help answer as many of these questions as possible, I have created "The ABCs of Kindergarten" which is basically the Kindergarten Handbook for the year.

In this document, you will find information about many Kindergarten policies and procedures, as well as information about your child's daily activities.  You will receive a copy of this document once school begins.  Click HERE to preview the document online!

SEPTEMBER EVENTS ~ Mark your calendars!


The beginning of the school year can be a very hectic time!   Organizing school supplies, filling out paperwork, and adjusting to new schedules will certainly keep us all busy.  Below is a list of dates to put on your calendar to ensure that nothing sneaks up on you:
  • Tuesday August 30 = Welcome Back Spaghetti Supper 4:30 - 6:30
    • Remember to bring...
      • Your child's school supplies
      • Phone Numbers (home, cell & work for parents & emergency contacts)
      • Addresses (where will the bus pick up/drop off? Emergency contacts?)
  • Thursday, September 1 = 1st day of school!
  • Monday, September 5 = Labor Day ~ No School
  • September 14 - September 18 = Vernon County Fair
    • Be sure to check out the booths featuring the Promise Center and the Art Department from our wonderful little school!
  • Thursday, September 22 = Picture Day!
Watch the "The Horton Herald", our weekly classroom newsletter, for changes and additional events.  I will try my best to keep this list up-to-date, as well.

Under Construction

If you are visiting this blog, please check back soon!  I have lots more work to do, and I am learning how to "Blog" as I go!  Hopefully, it will be ready to go once school starts!  Feel free to let me know if links don't work or if there are other mistakes.  This is my first blog EVER!  I won't be offended :)

About The Teacher

My name is Heather Horton. This is my 5th year teaching at LaFarge Public Schools. I taught two years of Four-Year-Old Kindergarten & Early Childhood Special Education, followed by two years teaching Kindergarten. I am married and have a gorgeous little girl, who will turn two in January. We are expecting our second child at the end of September. I live next door to my parents, about forty minutes from LaFarge. The long commute is totally worth it! Not only do I get to see my family whenever I want, I also get to teach in a wonderful, supportive community with amazing children, families & co-workers!
