From Mrs. Hicks' desk… Wow-the first week of Kindergarten is here! I realize that a great deal of information is being sent home this week and it can be quite overwhelming. You may read my Handbook and turn in the signature page by next Monday to give you a chance to read it carefully-it will answer many of your questions! Please return my Student Information card (lime green half sheet) as soon as you are able. I am very anxious to get to know each of your children-I know we will have a wonderful year!

Check my blog for this and lots of other information! http://hicks-thealphabetgarden.blogspot.com/
