1st Grade Classroom Schedule

Reminder that the start of our day is at 7:50am for the Morning Meeting. This is a time for our students to come together in a positive way to start our day! Math begins at 8:06am. We still have some students missing at least half of the Math lesson every day.  Please help us & your child to have a smooth start to their day by arriving on time. 

Fine Arts schedule for your child's class is located on the Fine Arts/PE tab at the top of the website page.  Will no longer be put in Blue Folder.

Thank you,

Your 1st Grade Team♥️

Reminders:

Library Form:

Please click on 'Library Form' to fill out for permission to allow your child to check out books from the Library. We still have a decent amount of students who do not have a form filled out. You can either 'Accept' or 'Deny'. All 1st Grade classes go to the Library on Tuesdays.

Classroom:

All students need to bring a water bottle to school. These will travel with them for P.E., Dance, & Recess. Needs to have a top that closes & is spill proof. Having a water bottle in the classroom helps your child stay hydrated, less time leaving the classroom for water.

Label Belongings: 

Help us reunite lost items quickly by labeling everything your child brings to school—jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, uniforms, backpacks, and instrument cases.

• Use a permanent marker or name label

• Include first & last name and grade/homeroom

• Re-check labels after washing

Unlabeled items are hard to return and often end up in Lost & Found. Thanks for your help!
