Mrs. Motil's First Grade

Welcome! I am so excited for a wonderful year full of learning, adventure and growth! Together we will learn many new things.


Some important notes:

  • Newsletters are sent home on Fridays. If there is no school on Friday, it will be sent home on Thursday.

  • Purple folders are to return to school EVERY day! Please make it a point to check the purple folders every night.

  • Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday. It is 20 minutes of reading on Raz Kids.

  • We love to celebrate birthdays! If you wish to send in a birthday treat, please send in store-bought, sealed treats.

  • We use Class Dojo as our behavior management system. Please see the page on Dojo for more details.


Please do not hesitate to contact me! It is easiest to reach me via email (lmotil@barbertonschools.org) as I check that daily. You can also send me a message through Class Dojo or call the school at 330-745-5492 and leave me a message.

*Please note: ANY ABSENCES AND DISMISSAL CHANGES MUST BE CALLED INTO THE OFFICE. Please DO NOT send any dismissal changes to me via email or Dojo as there is a possibility I may not see it before dismissal.*
