What does my Kindergarten Child need for the first week of school?

I've had a number of parents ask this question.  They don't need much.  But this is what they will need:

• a back back large enough to carry items (agenda, lunch, emergency clothes, newsletters, large library books)
• Emergency Clothes Kit (a plastic latching tub with their name on it that contains a pair of underwear or two, a pair of pants or two, a T-shirt and 2 pairs of socks.
• a pair of INDOOR shoes (running shoes that will be left at the school for the year. Please NO sandals, dress shoes, crocs or flip-flops. These need to be velcro running shoes so we can enjoy a safe run in the gym)
• a lunch bag or lunch box and re-usable water bottle and containers (we're trying to be a "GREEN" school and have litterless lunches). Please label your lunch box/bag and all reusable containers. 
• an enthusiasm and curiousity to meet new friends and learn new things.
