Dear Parents,

It is an exciting and busy time as both teachers and families prepare for school on Monday August 18th, 2025!

For the first day, you are welcome to meet us outside room 9. Students who are being dropped off early or eating breakfast will line up on the playground @ the 8:30 whistle, then walk to our room with me.

You can pick up your child outside the classroom or down @ the basketball courts @ 2:35.

Students need to bring their backpack every day and a water bottle that either unscrews or flips open. (Please don’t poke holes in the lids.) Please put their names on them, if possible.

Scissors are helpful--- especially if your child is left- handed. A glue stick and a “fat” beginner pencil are also appreciated, but not required.

I will provide crayons, a pencil box, and anything else needed in the classroom for now.

Here’s a link for supply information for your homework station:

If your child uses up crayons or pencils quickly, you may want to buy some while they are on sale and put them away for later. We are limited in the number of crayons the school will provide.

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, please contact me. I am looking forward to seeing your children on Monday and speaking with you on Parent Night, this Thursday, August 22, 2025 @ 5:30. It will be a minimum day. (home at 1:00)

Stay safe,

Miss Christensen
