"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." - William Author Ward  
Holy Family Kindergarten 400 S. Louise Street Glendale, CA 91205 818-243-9239 ext. 414 Dear Parents, I know that sending a child to school for the first time can be not only emotional but also confusing. This packet lists everything that your child will need as far as supplies are concerned. I have also sent to you a list of supplies needed by your child in case of a natural disaster or other type of emergency. We have personal size bags in the classroom for your child to store the supplies that you send. You do not need to purchase a special bag to hold supplies. You need to provide all of these supplies but please do not send anything extra. We will send anything that is not on the list back home. You will probably want to purchase a backpack for your child. Please be sure that it is large enough to hold a folder without bending it. A folder will be sent home every night. It must be returned each morning. Do not depend on your child to recognize his/her own backpack. There will be several of the same kind. Print your child’s name somewhere on the backpack and lunchbox in indelible marker. Your child will need a lunchbox to carry a snack and lunch (If you are not ordering hot lunch). The snack is eaten at 10:00 each day. The snack should have nutritional value that will help your child get through the rest of the morning. The children may not have cookies, chips, candy or sugared cereal for snack. We suggest items like fresh fruit or vegetables cut into pieces, cheese and crackers, or peanut butter and crackers or yogurt. If you are packing a drink, your best choice is water. Do not make the snack too big or offer too many choices because snack time is only 15 minutes. If you would like to include a cookie or chips at lunchtime it is fine. If your child is going to attend After Care be sure to pack extra food. The children get very hungry around 3:00. As a reminder, Kindergarten girls wear navy blue pants not jumpers. Boys wear grey pants. All of the children wear white school polo shirts. Socks must be white and cuff at the ankle. Sport socks are not permitted. Shoes must be all white. That means that they cannot have colored trim or laces. They should not light up or play music. The uniform code requires that students wear a belt. This rule is waived for the kindergarten because unbuckling and buckling belts at bathroom time take too long. All uniform items must be purchased at Dennis Uniform Co. The children are not permitted to wear necklaces, bracelets or other jewelry. Girls may wear small post earrings. This is done for safety reasons. If you have a boy who is entering Kindergarten, it would be helpful if you would start training him to use the zipper on his pants when he has to urinate rather than drop his clothes to the floor. Finally, be sure that you have all immunization records in the office prior to the beginning of school. If they are not in, your child will not be permitted to come into the classroom. I know that you have at least 100 more questions. I promise you will get an answer to all of them. Relax, be patient and we’ll get through. I look forward to seeing you in August. Sincerely, Andrea Porath Kindergarten Teacher Mrs. Acela Castillo and Mrs. Teri Nelson Classroom Aides  Mrs. Acela Castillo (Teacher's Aide)  Mrs. Teri Nelson (Teacher's Aide)  Classroom Pictures  Supply List 2008 - 2009 Kindergarten Supply List 2008-2009 Personal Supplies: All personal supplies should be marked with permanent marker with the child’s name and grade.

Make certain that all immunization records have been given to the school before the first day of class or your child will not be allowed in the classroom. Personal Earthquake Supplies Although the school has an adequate quantity of supplies in case of a natural disaster, we feel that a child would be comforted to have something of his/her own. Each child should bring the following items to school. They will be stored for use in case of an earthquake or other emergency. They will be returned to you at the end of the school year. These items are in addition to those requested on the supply list. All of these items should fit into a gallon size zip-lock baggie. Please mark the bag with your child’s name and grade. • A pair of socks • A set of underwear • A change of pants ( do not need to be uniform pants) • A 16.9 oz. Bottle of water (no larger) • A personal size box of raisins (not a large box) • A granola or energy bar ( 1 bar-not a package) • A family picture (something familiar to the child) • A personal note of reassurance from you. The note should say that you know that he/she may be frightened but that they will be taken care of at the school. And that you will be there as soon as you can to pick him/her up. This note will come home again in the family envelope in September. It will be for the rest of the school. You will not need to do this again.  BIRTHDAYS We love to have birthdays in the Kindergarten! We will try to make your child feel very special on his/her birthday. The school has very specific rules concerning what may be brought to school for a birthday. You may provide cupcakes or cookies for the class if you wish. We are not allowed to pass out goodie bags or other foods. If you are sending out invitations to a birthday party we will put the invitations in your child's folder. Do not have your child pass out invitations. Please ask if you have any questions about birthdays! | Kindergarten | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Grade 3 | Grade 4 | Grade 5 | Grade 6 | Grade 7 | Grade 8 | Learning Center | Art | Music | Full Focus | Physical Education | Staff | Reading - Grades 4 & 5 | | Personnel Administration | Faculty and Staff | Counselor's Corner | | Principal's Message | Pastor's Message | Administration and Faculty | School Prayer | School Song | Sports | Children's Concert Chorus | | Return Home | About HFGS | 2008-09 Calendar | Parents Guild | Information & Services | Contact Us | Alumni Registration | |
