Well the first week of school has come and gone already. We had a great week learning about each other and getting to know how 4th grade works. Your students are coming home with a Friday folder. This folder will be sent home every Friday with work students have completed and any notices or paperwork that needs to be returned. I will also send home class notes weekly which will include information about our week and announcements for upcoming events.

I-ready Diagnostic: Next week our class will work on our I-ready diagnostic. Students will do this on Tuesday, please help your students get ready for this with a good night sleep and breakfast. We appreciate your help with this. 

Forms: Thank you for completing the forms that were sent home this week. If you did not have a chance to complete these please do so and send in next week.

Welcome to Mr. Saucier’s 4th Grade Class!!!! 

My name is Mr. Saucier and I am so excited that we will work together in 4th grade at East Rochester School. I hope your summer has been full of time outside to enjoy nature, time with family, and a few friends. I will want to hear about your summer when you return so enjoy, relax, and be ready to share. 

I have enjoyed my time off with my family camping, swimming, and relaxing. I wanted to share a bit about myself. I just finished my 16th year teaching and my 7th at ERS. My wife and I live here in Rochester with our daughters, Hannah and Peyton. We have two cats named Scout and Oreo who keep us busy. I can not wait to meet you and learn more about you and your family as well this year. 

I am sure you are getting excited for the start of a new school year. 4th grade is always a great year for students and I am so excited for the fun activities we will get to do together. I know you are excited to get supplies for the year so here is a list of what you will need:

1 Box of 12 - #2 pencils

1 box of 12 or 24 colored pencils 

1 Folder for homework (This folder will go home every day)

Zipper pouch for pencils (optional)

1 pair of headphones- for use with chrome books (headphones if you are able, the earbuds do not stay in the student’s ears.)

Other helpful items: 

1 box of tissues, 1 roll of paper towels, 1 bottle of cleaning wipes, 1 bottle of Hand sanitizer 

 (I provide some folders and supplies such as markers, rulers etc. The last 4 items on the list are to help keep our classroom a clean and healthy environment. Please do not get pencil boxes- they do not fit in the desks.) 

Enjoy the end of summer, our first day of school is Tuesday, September 2, 2025.  If you have any questions please reach out to me saucier.d@sau54.org.  

Sincerely, 

Mr. Saucier
