Junior Kindergarten 2019-2020 Welcome Letter

Hello and welcome to Junior Kindergarten at Hilton Elementary!  My name is Mrs. Spaanstra and I will be your child's Junior Kindergarten teacher.  I assume that some of the children (and parents) are a bit nervous about the first day of Junior Kindergarten.  Honestly, I am too.  Every year I have butterflies when I see and meet all the new families and children, but I am looking forward to a year of growing, playing, exploring, and learning together.
 
I really hope your child is excited about beginning the school year… all of the anxieties about the “newness” will soon disappear and we will all be having such a great time as we start learning our routines and making friends to enjoy throughout the year.  I am sure you have many questions about your child’s Junior Kindergarten year; I hope this newsletter will answer some of them; we will discuss more details when we gather at the Orientation/Meet & Greet.  If I do not answer all of your questions, please feel free to email me at spaansa@brightonk12.com and/or sign up for our Class Text/Remind located under General Class Information on this Website.

 I am looking forward to fabulous year together and am excited to get the new school year started.  Please see the below Meet & Greet Schedule; please plan on attending this first special evening with your child.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mrs. Spaanstra
