Mr. Mott is Ready for Kindergarten!

Can't wait to welcome our new class Monday!

Remind App - Parent / Teacher Communication

     Sign up for either text messages or email updates by clicking this link: https://www.remind.com/join/cmott.  You may download the Remind app to get more features.  These messages may be simple class wide reminders like 'don't forget project due Friday!" to specific just for you like 'Sammy was really helpful today by....'  More information about why I'm using the Remind App and what it can be used for can be found here.

Today's Meet and Greet

       It was great meeting with everyone who came today!  I look forward to meeting one on one with each student Thursday and Friday!  If you forgot your time, you can call the office and ask Julie or email me and I can let you know!

Peanut / Tree Nut Free Classroom (Official!)

       I have now received confirmation that we will be a peanut / tree nut free classroom.  This means that no snacks in the classroom may contain tree nuts or peanuts.  Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are OK for lunch.  Our class has two tables for lunch - one for school and home, another for school and food allergy.  The students spread out between the two tables so no one is secluded.  Thank you for helping us keep our classroom safe!

Parent's Corner

       The Parent's Corner portion of our site has been updated to reflect this year's Special schedule and links to flash cards for sight words students will learn through out the year.

Specials Schedule

Monday - Music
Tuesday - None
Wednesday - Gym
Thursday - Library
Friday - Art

    I would recommend against sending your child in extra nice clothes on Wednesdays and Fridays :).  Please remember to have your child wear sneakers EVERYDAY.  With the wood chips on the playground, anything other then sneakers can be aggravating to students because of wood chips getting inside more easily.  It is also difficult to run around and play on the playground without sneakers.  Thank you!

Meet and Greet Wednesday August 26th at 1pm!

        I look forward to seeing you and your child at PV's Meet and Greet on Wednesday August 26th from 1 to 2pm.  Come visit me and the classroom!  On Thursday or Friday you will come in for your child's screening.  First day of school for K students will be Monday August 31st!

Welcome Letter's Coming Soon!

       Some parents seeing me at the beach asked when they would find out who their child will have for a teacher.  You will be getting a letter in the mail from Mrs. Miner towards the end of next week or the following week (Aug. 17-21).
