One of the kindergarten parents emailed me with SIX questions (thank you!), so I thought I'd post for all to see. Please excuse any weird formatting. I'm not even going to bother to try to fix it.
Scrip: Can we pay for scrip with a credit card?
The PTA isn't totally set up for electronic payments yet (looking into smartphone payments such as Square, but no action at this time), and the old-school credit card swiper is pretty cumbersome, so in-person scrip must be purchased cash or check only.

Curriculum Night is *THIS* Thursday night!
Curriculum Night, THIS Thursday from 6:30-8 in the lunchroom & your classroom, is a chance to learn about the lesson plans going forward including topics and focus areas, briefly discuss any issues you might have, and to set up your parent-teacher conference time in November. Curriculum Night is hosted by the principal and teachers.
Kids are NOT allowed. There is no childcare provided (unlike PTA meetings, where there is free childcare - though not sure about toddler-aged kids). Get a babysitter for Curriculum Night. It is probably a good idea to have both parents/primary caregivers attend this one so you get the full picture, and can split up to chat with multiple teachers if necessary.
Come and find out what's going on! What is writers' workshop and reading workshop? What is the computers class all about? Will we have a bike unit in Health & Fitness this year? When is the first computerized/standardized MAP testing session? Etc.
Also, you'll be able to buy scrip, Chinook books, and t-shirts, and sign up for the PTA & school directory. :)

Computerized testing, report cards, and more
Wondering about how your child's progress is monitored, assessed and evaluated?
Well, the teachers have all sorts of ongoing systems and strategies, and you can find out more at Curriculum Night on September 15, where you'll have kid-free time to talk to the teacher about this stuff, and at Parent-Teacher Conferences just before Thanksgiving (either the three days before t-giving, or if you take that week as vacation, you'll schedule an evening time somewhere around then).
Here are a few:
