TO PLANT A GARDEN IS TO BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE

THANK YOU
To the Okamoto Family (Kindergarten Student Zen) for building the beautiful gates in the
Friendship Garden. And to the dedicated volunteer parents who are weeding and planting
strawberries and summer plants as well.

FYI
The Kindergartners have been experiencing a harvest of delicious broccoli and cauliflower
from the garden. Our hope is that the children learn about the connection between what
we grow in the garden and what we buy in the store.

The 3rd Grade class is looking for ideas to partner the garden with science, art and/or
literature. They will start as soon as the spring and summer plants come in. We would
love to see parent involvement.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We need help cleaning up the garden and getting ready for more planting. We will be there
on Wednesday and Friday morning right after school starts for one hour. Your toddlers and
preschoolers are welcome too.

Just show up or Contact Noriko Barral (Ethan Barrell) noriko.a.barrall@sbcglobal.net

Helpers wanted for our Silkworm Season. We would like to start just before the February
school recess. Please contact us at noriko.a.barrall@sbcglobal.net

Note: We need to begin our silk worm project and spring planting in Feb. in order to finish
by the end of the school.

KINDERGARTEN NEWS

Parent Information Night for Transitional Kindergarten 2012-2013
Thursday, March 29th 6:30 pm at Painted Rock Elementary School

In accordance with the Kindergarten Readiness Act, students who turn 5 between November 1st and December 2nd will be enrolled in a Transitional Kindergarten Program.  In addition to offering Transitional Kindergarten to the required students under the Kindergarten Readiness Act, PUSD will also allow students with birthdays between June 1st and October 31st to enroll in the Transitional Kindergarten Program.

Transitional Kindergarten is offered at several schools within our District.  Placement in Transitional Kindergarten is offered first to students according to the following priority:

Students who turn five between November 1st and December 2nd living within the attendance boundaries of the school offering Transitional Kindergarten.
Students who turn five between November 1st and December 2nd who do not live within the attendance boundaries of a school offering Transitional Kindergarten.
Students who turn five between June 1st and October 31st living within the attendance boundaries of the school offering Transitional Kindergarten.
Students who turn five between June 1st and October 31st who do not live within the attendance boundaries of a school offering Transitional Kindergarten.

Parents wishing to transfer their child into a Transitional Kindergarten class MUST notify their home school at the time of enrollment.  Your home school will then place your child on the transfer list.  Beginning June 1, the assigned Transitional Kindergarten school site will notify parents on the transfer list of an opening in Transitional Kindergarten.  The parent will then be given 48 hours to enroll.

Students that participate in Transitional Kindergarten will be attending school daily on the half-day kindergarten schedule.  They will also be eligible for Extended Student Services (ESS) for before and after school care.
