Meet and Greet is on Monday, August 7th. Times are listed below.

First Day of School- Tuesday August 8th                                                                      

Daily Classroom Procedures

Arrival

Please drop your child off at 8:57 to enter through the front of the door.

Please wait in cars and drop your child off. 

Dismissal

Your child will get a dismissal number and this pass will be used to dismiss your child. (All siblings will have the same number). Your child's number could be different from last year. You will need to display that number in your car dash or show a staff member by the gazebo to pick up your child. 

Snacks

Students may bring one healthy snack to school with them each day. Please make it a snack that your child can open independently.

Homework

There is no formal homework assigned. I encourage practicing sight words and math facts practiced daily along with the spelling pattern for the week.

 I do, however, expect your child to read or be read to at least 10 minutes each night. 

Grading Criteria

The grading criteria is the following: 

4- Exceeds (a whole grade level above expectations)

3- Meets (meeting grade level standards)

2- Approaching (just below grade level standards)

1- Does Not Meet (below grade level standards)

Water Bottles

Please send a water bottle with your child.

Classroom Climate

Our class is learning to be a respectful, responsible, and kind community. We are looking for R.O.C.K.S. behavior throughout the day. R.O.C.K.S. is an acronym for the school wide behavior plan based on the Positive Behavior System. It stands for: R- Responsible, O- Open Minded, C- Citizens, K- Kind, S- Safe. We spend time reviewing how each trait looks in all the areas of the school.

Volunteering

If you are interested in volunteering, please let me know at Meet and Greet and send me an email ;) I would love to have you help out and will email you details of when I will have volunteers start.

Communication

The best way to communicate with me on a daily basis is email. Feel free to email me at any time.  My email is mebrown@dcsdk12.org. 

1st Grade Weekly Newsletters will go out on Fridays to update you about our learning and what the week ahead will bring! 

You can also call the front office and leave a message and I will return it as soon as possible!

Sincerely,

Melissa Brown
