ACS Kindergarten Literacy Library





Welcome to another rewarding school year! Our literacy library is a warm, comfortable environment for our students. We are so excited to meet and work with you and your rising kindergartener!

During their library time, students will have opportunities to practice the reading, writing, and phonics skills that they are learning in the classroom.  

You can help your child prepare for kindergarten by filling your home with reading materials: books, newspapers, magazines, comics, mail, captions on the TV, cereal boxes and recipes. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to do this! Also, utilize the Leonia library and their website Leonialibrary.org. You will find many ebooks available for free. Libby is great for children. Another website we recommend for children’s books is wilbooks.com. Finally, be a reading role model for your child! Your kids look up to you. They model your every move. This includes your reading habits too! Make it known that you are actively reading. Pick up a book, magazine, or read from the computer or tablet. They will notice and most likely ask you about it. Have fun reading together!

We look forward to seeing you in September!

Best,

Ms. Lewis and Ms. Compel

Classes are held once a week for 45 minutes. Our lessons are carefully crafted with the young child’s development in mind. Lessons are developed to allow children to express themselves freely in a welcoming and uplifting space. Music lessons reinforce important literacy, math and social skills. Students are introduced to a variety of different genres and multicultural music to help broaden their musical repertoire. I am so excited to meet your child this upcoming fall.

Kindergarten Orientation Information from Nurse Bernard

    Anna C. Scott School Nurse’s Office Kindergarten Orientation Information for September 2020 Hello Parents/Guardians of the Kindergarten Class of 2021. I hope you are all well and safe at home. It is time to start getting your child ready for kindergarten. There is medical information that is required by the State of New Jersey for entry into kindergarten. You will need to submit a physical examination form completed by a physician or nurse practitioner licensed in the United States. This physical must be done within one year of entry to school. Proof of immunizations must also be submitted. If your child needs an updated physical examination and/or immunizations, talk to your doctor about when to schedule an appointment. It may be difficult to schedule one at the end of the summer. Children cannot enter school without documentation of the physical and immunizations. Please complete the Medical History form and have your child’s Dentist complete the Dental exam
