I will be in constant communication with families. Please sign up with the REMIND App! Stay informed about activities, routine changes, daily happenings, upcoming events, reminders, as well as insightful information that can support you and your child at home!
Homework will go home each day and is a reinforcement of daily lessons and activities. Homework typically includes math, Fundations (word work), and reading. The expectation is that First Graders complete their assignments and return them the next school day. If at any time you feel your child is struggling with his or her homework, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your support!
Extra Help will be held once a week before school through invitation. If your child is in need of additional support, a note will be sent home inviting him or her to Extra Help. Thank you.
We love to celebrate birthdays in First Grade! Food items must be store bought, remain sealed, and nut free. A list of ingredients MUST accompany the food item.
The class will celebrate student birthdays during snack time; therefore, please have your child’s food item, napkins, AND any necessary utensils at school by 12:00pm. Please do not send additional treats, such as pencils, goodie bags, etc as we ARE NOT permitted to distribute them per our Health and Wellness Committee guidelines. Candles are NOT permitted due to fire codes. Thank you for your understanding.
Please inform me if you will be sending in an item for your child’s birthday. Summer birthdays will be celebrated during the month of June.
Birthday parties are fun no matter what age! If you plan to send invitations to school, please place the invitations in your child’s Take Home Folder for me to distribute. I ask that you please invite the entire class, OR all of the boys, OR all of the girls. If you are unable to do so I kindly ask that you please utilize our Class Friendship Directory for your guest list. Although First Graders are little, their feelings are big and can easily be hurt. Thank you for your understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
**Please inform me of any food allergies your child may have so we can plan a safe way for him or her to participate. Thank you.**
The First Grade Teachers are planning exciting events for our little ones that compliment our curriculum!
As always, Parents and Guardians are encouraged to place their name in our chaperone lottery. Early notification will be sent home with your child and will include a detailed explanation of the name, date, purpose of the trip, a permission slip, as well as funds, if necessary, to be collected. Rest assured, all trips are educational; however, your child's safety is my first priority.
