Hello Kincaid Families!

Milestone Testing begins this week for our 4th grade students! It is their turn to showcase their learning and show what they know! A good night’s sleep, a good breakfast, and arriving to school on time gives your child that extra boost to start the day!

This week is also Career Week! Every student will participate in an activity or event to explore and learn about careers.

This Friday is our Volunteer Brunch from 8:00 – 9:00am. The Kincaid staff is honored to give back to all the volunteers who have donated their time and money to Kincaid this year! Thank you so much for helping make Kincaid an amazing place!

IT’S TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!

PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR

Classroom Placement Feedback – Each year I like to provide parents the opportunity to give feedback about their child for consideration in placement for the next year. Requests for specific teachers are not accepted. Please know that whether you submit feedback or not, a great deal of care is put into creating our classrooms to meet all student needs. If you would like to provide feedback, please complete this survey by May 12th.

Order School Supply Packs – You may opt to order supplies through the PTA School Supply Pack Order.  These teacher-tailored packs are filled with quality, name-brand supplies that are listed on the Kincaid Supply List, so your student will be prepared for the first day of school. All packs ordered within the deadline will be delivered to Kincaid, and volunteers will distribute to classrooms prior to Meet and Greet. Click here to order.  Use code:  KIN081. Place your order before May 21st, to lock in pricing.
Contact schoolpacks@kincaidpta.org with any questions.

MAKE A JOURNAL JAR

A journal doesn’t have to be a diary. It can also be a book where your child writes about ideas or answers questions, like “If you could do anything next summer, what would you choose?” A journal jar is a place to keep all those ideas and questions.

Wash and decorate a wide-mouthed jar, like one that used to contain peanut butter. Then, write or print out journal prompts on slips of paper. Ask your child to pull out one prompt each day and write about it in her journal.
