Coming to School. The first day of school for Kindergarten is Friday Sept 6 th. I will wait out by the bus drop off for you. Don’t worry, I will stay right there until everyone arrives. If you come by car your family will bring you around to the bus area to meet me. When everyone arrives we’ll go into class.

Leaving school. Don’t worry I will know which bus you ride on. We walk out together in a line, then I say goodbye to you as you get on the bus. I will do that every single day. Always say “ Goodbye Mrs. Baldwin !” Your job is to sit quietly on a seat. Listen to the bus driver. Your bus driver knows where you live.

Pick Up Friends If you are not leaving on the bus, your family will always let school know by phone or note. Don’t worry! The school office will send me a message. Grown ups will wait for you by our main office. I will take you to meet your grown up on our way to the buses.PMK pick ups will sit at a special table to wait …I’ll show you. Always say “ Goodbye Mrs. Baldwin !”
