Dear Robert Graves Parents and Guardians,
I hope you have had a great summer where you were able to relax and prepare for another exciting year at Robert Graves! This summer, at Robert Graves, we have been busy preparing for the first day of class on September 4th. On the back of this double-sided letter is information on arrival, dismissal, and other key topics.
Healthy Kids-We are happy to say that, at Robert Graves, we offer both before care and after care. Fees are set by the Healthy Kids program. Specific sign-up information is available at https://www.healthykidsprograms.com.
Summer Reading Challenge-All students who participated should bring in their sheets on the first day of school. If you need information regarding this, please contact Mrs. Yonnetti at wyonnetti@kingstoncityschools.org.
Back to School Night-This year we our BTS night is scheduled for September 26th from 6:00-7:30pm.
Arrival and Dismissal-Specific details on arrival and dismissal are on the back of this document, however, we highly encourage parents to have students ride the buses.
Lunch and Breakfast- Again this year, lunch and breakfast are provided at no cost to students. Please refer to the website later in the month for the menu for the first day of school. Copies of the menus will be sent home monthly.
TEAMS-Last year we used TEAMS with all students. This year we will continue to use the TEAMS program for updates and to communicate quickly with parents. The two channels on Teams to follow are the PTO and Information Area channel. If you have any questions regarding TEAMS, please direct them to your child’s teacher.
Classroom Supply Lists were sent home with 1st-4th students in June. Copies of that information is available on the RG website. You can email the teachers with any questions.
This year we are very happy and excited to welcome 6 new staff members to the Robert Graves Team.
Mrs. Sharon Braswell will be joining our kindergarten team.
Mrs. Erin McDermott will be joining our 3rd grade team.
Mrs. Siobhan Warner will be joining our 2nd grade team.
Ms. Elizabeth Little will be joining us as a Speech Therapist.
Ms. Kasi Peterman and Mrs. Melissa Wells will be joining our lunch monitor team.
My team and I are incredibly excited about this year, and we are looking forward to teaching our exceptional students and working with our community.
Have a great remainder of your summer and see you on September 4th.
Sincerely,
Dr. Errin Parese
Principal
