Welcome to the Blackboard site of Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Rotman!
We are so excited to be your child's teachers for the 2022/2023 school year! Our philosophy is that every child can learn, and our goal is to make this year both educational and fun. We firmly believe in the power of communication and look forward to working together to ensure your child's success in kindergarten.
Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Rotman have worked together for over 20 years. Many of those years have been as buddy class teachers and more recently as job share partners in kindergarten. You will see Mrs. Rotman every Friday and Mrs. Kelley most other days of the week. Please click on the link below to read our welcome letter. We can't wait to meet all of you!
Your child should be dropped off at the gate by 8:15 (no later than 8:10 if eating breakfast). Class begins at 8:20. Students will be walked to the front or back gate by one of the kindergarten teachers at dismissal. (We are all in the photo to the left, so be sure to look for one of us!)
