Welcome to Kindergarten!
As you may know, my name is Marie Willis. I have been teaching Kindergarten for 5 years. I have been a teacher at CPS for 21 years. I love my job!! Everyday is a new experience!!
It is very important for you child to attend school. Much of what we do daily can not be sent home as homework. I do understand this is a year your child is being exposed to many new germs! So if your child is sick, keep them home! Tables are cleaned at least twice daily!
Additional information: Your child is given a folder, please be sure to send this with them daily. It really helps to know that lunch money/notes will be in there! I also send papers home in it for you to look at. We do have a daily snack. Parents are asked to send in a snack for the whole class to share. (crackers, cheese, pretzels, vegies..etc.) Milk is NOT given during snack time. If you want to send a special juice/drink for snack time it is fine. I send a weekly newsletter to keep you informed on what is going on in the classroom, or any item your child might need for the next week. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please call me! 633-9744 at home or school 657-9318 ext. 269
Thank you for the opportunity to teach your child!
Ms. Willis
