Welcome to Kindergarten

Ms. Skibitski, hskibitski@gisu.org  ~  Ms. Terrien, mterrien@gisu.org

Welcome to Kindergarten!

This year we have Hannah Skibitski joining as our second kindergarten teacher. We are happy to be able to offer two kindergarten classes this year as we welcome 25 new students to our school family!

Please reach out to your child's teacher, to our super knowledgeable administrative assistant Pam Leonard, or to our Principal Lauren Thomas if you have any questions during your transition to CIUUSD-Grand Isle.

We are excited to have you learning with us! 

​Sincerely,
Ms. Skibitski
Ms. Terrien
Our educational hours are 8am-3pm

Students may be dropped off any time between
7-7:45am, with before school care provided by staff.
 
From 7:45-8:00, students have access to breakfast in their classrooms.

Students will be dismissed by classroom at 3 pm. and may be picked up outside of the school. Your child's teacher will ensure that your child remains safe and does not cross the parking lot without you.

If you need after school care, please sign up here and you will be notified if there is space available.

Kindergarten FAQ

Reminder:
​All Breakfasts and Lunches are free to all students during the 2021-2022 School Year.
Please visit the Abbey Group for menus.

​Birthday Lunch
​
This year we will be picking a day each month to celebrate student birthdays.

Bus Routes

Bus routes are emailed at the beginning of the year. Please contact Mrs. Leonard if you have any questions. 

Students will be required to wear a mask on the bus as it’s considered public transportation. We require that
students under 5th grade have an adult home to receive the student from the bus. This ensures your student’s safety.

How to Navigate Our Parking Lot

If your child will be absent:

​Email or call
Mrs. Leonard Pleonard@gisu.org 
802-372-6913
If we do not receive notice, we will call home to verify your child’s absence.

Let your child’s teacher know
We will too.
Our parking lot can get busy during drop-off and pick-up times. See this link for our Parking Lot Traffic Flow.
