The first grade team would like to take the time and welcome each of you to first grade. This will be an exciting year for you and your scholar. This year will be a year of growth and adventure. As first grade students we encourage the students to be more independent and responsible in their learning. During the first week of school we go through classroom rules and expectations. We also go over and practice routines and procedures to have a successful year. During the second week each student is given a daily homework folder which inside will contain a calendar that is used as a daily behavior chart as well as any important communications that need to go home. This calendar lists all the activities that will occur throughout the current month as well as grade level or class specific information. At any time, parents are welcomed to contact your scholars teacher via dojo, email, phone, or in person in regards to any concerns or questions. It has been proven that when we build a relationship based on trust, honesty, and respect, we get a lot done and have the most fun while doing it. That being said, all students are treated with the upmost respect and in return we expect that they do the same towards all adults and classmates.
This year will begin differently than others being that we will begin virtually. This year is going to be great and we look forward to getting know you all and the wonderful adventures we will have this year!
