Welcome to 1st Grade
Welcome to 1st Grade! I am so excited to have you as part of our class family! Enjoy the last few weeks of summer and I will see you for the 1st Day of School on Monday, August 31st!
Reminders for the end of summer:
Please take time to complete the Google form that I had sent to your email on Sunday 8/16. This will give me some information about your child and to help us to have a smooth start to the year. Please have it completed by Sunday 8/23.
Please help your child to finish their Summer Assignments packet that was posted on the school website. Summer packets are due by Tuesday 9/8. https://popejohnpaul2sch.org/summer-assignments
Your child's school supplies are already in the classroom for them. Please do not send additional personal supply items with your child as they become a distraction to your child and those around them.
Clear contact paper will be needed to cover folders to help them last throughout the year.
During the first week of school, please send with your child a box of tissues, a pack of disinfecting wipes, and a roll of paper towels for our classroom. Please do NOT send with your child scented hand sanitizers as people are sensitive to them.
All students will need to bring two snacks, a lunch, and a PLASTIC water bottle filled with water for the first week of school. Snack should be a quick, simple item, not an entire meal. No candy at snack time please. When packing snacks and lunch, please be sure to send your child with napkins and utensils. Hot lunch will begin Tuesday 9/8.
Please continue to practice your letters and numbers, handwriting, math facts, and do lots of reading together!
Homework packets are sent home on Monday and due back on Friday each week. Even if your child finishes their packet before Friday, I will leave it in their folder and collect all homework packets together on Friday.
Remember two snacks (not candy), your lunch, and water bottle everyday. If your child is attending afternoon CARES, please be sure to send them an additional snack.
Please be sure that your child has the proper outerwear for recess. The wind really whips around outback on the playground and field.
If your child will be going home a different way than what you had originally indicated, please be sure to send the change to me in writing. We need to make sure everyone gets home safely.

If your child is going to be absent from school, please scan this QR code to complete the PJPII absentee form. As a school, we are asking all families to use this form to report daily attendance by 8:00 am each day. Your submission of the form in a timely manner helps us to ensure the safety of our students.
Except for illness absences longer than three days, which still require a doctor's note for return, the submission of the form serves as an excuse note.
