Memory Words
The Superkids reading program teaches 12 words from the Dolch list of high-frequency words (go to my Resources link to see the Dolch List). These are either not decodable or contain letter-sounds that haven't been taught during kindergarten. By the end of kindergarten, children will be able to decode or encode another 55 words from the Dolch list with the skills learned this year. The reading series does not introduce more sight words because they feel the child will be overloaded too soon with nondecodable sight words, and will not rely upon using their decoding ability. Decoding skills are critical for children to have reading success.

Clothing Basics
Please put your last name in jackets, sweaters, and sweatshirts. In general, pullovers and zippers are easier for children rather than buttons and snaps. We are available to help your child, however, to develop their independence, you may want to select a covering that they can or will be able to master on their own. Also, many of the children take off their jacket, sweater, or sweatshirt, and the sleeves are inside out. Work with your child
to learn how to pull the sleeves so they are not inside out.

Parent Participation and Virtus Certification
In accordance with the Diocese of Rockville Centre, all parent volunteers who wish to participate in any school related events must be VIRTUS certified. Please see the school homepage for more information.
