This Week's News
Spanish Tutoring Starts Today!
Free after-school Spanish tutoring for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders begins today, and continues on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the remainder of the school year. We strongly encourage your child to take advantage of this free resource!
Hot Lunch
Hot Lunch this Friday (9/6) will be: Bagel and Cream Cheese, Juice Box, Clementine, Carrots.
The cost of each lunch will be $9.00. A second (or even a third) slice, bagel, etc. may be ordered for an additional $2.00 each.
Place your orders using this Google form.
Orders are placed on Thursday morning. All orders must be submitted by end of day on Wednesday.
Drop-off and Pickup
When you drop off and pick up your child, please do not double-park, leave your car unattended, block our neighbors’ driveways or the intersection of 25th and Lake.
It is always preferable that parents find a legal parking spot to drop off or pick up their children. We also know it is not always possible for parents to park and meet, so to this end, we have pick up and drop off policies for our loading zone. Please read them and follow them entirely.
The first rule is for all parents to drive safely. It is important that we observe all traffic laws (do not speed, make illegal U-turns, double park or park on any corner) and always be on the look-out for children.
It is important that cars do not stay in our loading zone for any time more than is necessary. Students must get in and out of cars quickly and safely and exit directly to the sidewalk when dropped off and enter from the sidewalk when picked up. If a parent needs to leave the driver seat for any reason during drop-off or pick-up time (8:20-8:40 or 2:55-3:15), the loading zone should not be used and the parent should find and use a legal parking spot.
At pickup, if the child is not at the loading zone, the parent must carefully drive around the block until their child arrives or, even better, find a legal parking spot to come meet their child on foot. Parents should not park and wait for the arrival of their child, for this will block the pick up area for others and create a possible hazard.
If your child is dropped off before 8:20am, please have them enter through the side door entrance on 25th Avenue. Similarly, if your child is in Extended Day, please pick them up from the side door entrance on 25th Avenue.
Fall Picnic
Join us on Saturday, September 7, from 10am until 1pm for our annual fall picnic. You can enter the park on 9th and Lake, and find us at the shelter between 8th and 10th.
Please bring a dish to share and label it with ingredients for potential allergies. Kittredge will provide juice boxes and desserts.
Frisbees and soccer balls are fun for the lawn area of the park. Parking can be difficult. Please allow time for parking, ride a bike or walk to Mountain Lake Park.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Next Week's News
Lights! Camera! Kid Stock!
We are thrilled to partner once again with Kid Stock for an after-school Drama workshop! Every Monday from 3:15 to 5:15, students will meet for a two-hour rehearsal. Rehearsals include rotating workshops in song, dance, and drama as well as full cast activities. Kid Stock serves as a great creative outlet for students who take a particular interest in the performing arts. If you're interested in signing your child up, you can do so here.
Back-to-School Night
Back-to-School night will be here in just about 1 week! On Wednesday, September 11, at 6:30pm we invite you to join us here at Kittredge for a night of getting to know your child's teachers, and the rest of the school! As a reminder, this is an opportunity to meet your child's teachers, but this is not a parent-teacher conference. Please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a meeting if you need a one-on-one discussion.
We understand that some parents have multiple Kittredge students, and need to split between two classrooms. If this is the case for you, we understand! Your child's teacher can make sure you get all of the information you need. Similarly, if you are unable to attend Back-to-School Night, please let us know! We will make sure to get you the important information.
Extended Day will close at 6pm, as usual. We will not be offering childcare during Back to School night.
