Kindergarten Round Up: February 14, 2012
Come and spend the early morning of Valentine's Day at Bridlemile. Our round-up gives parents an opportunity to get all the nuts and bolts of the Bridlemile kindergarten program at one event. In addition we welcome your soon-to-be kindergartner to our one-hour meeting. Our current kindergartners will start the program with music and then they will lead the incoming group to kindergarten classrooms for an art activity. While your child is working in a kindergarten classroom you will have an opportunity to hear the principal give you basic information about our program and there will be time for your questions. We look forward to meeting you on February 14. If you are unable to make the round-up, please call for a slot in our weekly tours.

A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Students,
Bridlemile Elementary is a K-5 kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school serving over 450 students. The program hallmarks include strong academic opportunities in a supportive environment where students learn respect and take personal responsibility for their actions. Bridlemile has welcomed and nurtured students for the past 52 years.
The staff at Bridlemile make this pledge to you:
We promise to greet your child each morning with the expectation that the day will be important. Will you learn about our school program so you can offer the same enthusiasm?
We promise to prepare exciting lessons. Will you help your child get to school well rested and on time to appreciate them?
We promise to work to make your child’s day an intellectually stimulating one. Will you ask questions and encourage discussions so that your child can share his or her educational growth with you?
We promise to call or write whenever we feel that your child needs a little extra help in getting along with others, or taking responsibility for their own actions. Will you call or write us if you hear a comment about school that bothers you?
One of our goals this year is to encourage your child to participate fully in all school activities. You can help by sharing school life. Children learn what they live. When your child sees his/her life surrounded by caring and attentive parents and school staff, he or she will surely join with us to help make this the best year yet.
We ask that you provide support and a quiet workspace for your child to do his/her daily reading and homework. We are looking forward to a wonderful year and rewarding partnership with you.
Sincerely,
Tanya Ghattas and the Bridlemile Staff
