Dear Parents,
Kindergarten has been very busy learning new things, making new friends and adjusting to life at Holy Name of Mary School.I will continue to assess your child this week so I can better understand the needs of each individual.Every week I will update you on what is occurring in each subject area as well as important dates and events that are coming up.
Please remember that my door is always open and I will always make time to discuss your child or any concerns you may have.I am at school every morning at 7:30 a.m. until approximately 4:00 p.m.
