Supplies and Summer Reading

Dear Incoming 1st Grade Students, Parents, and Guardians, 

We are looking forward to being your child’s first grade teachers.  It is a very exciting year for students. There are many wonderful learning opportunities and you will be amazed at how much your child will grow this year. We will also have 8th grade buddies to share many special times with us, such as Friday Mass, holiday parties, and other special events. 

In order for our year to run smoothly, we are asking that you have the following items ready and packed on the first day of school. Please place all supply items (erasers, crayons, glue sticks, and scissors) in a Ziploc bag labeled with your child's name.  Please don't label the individual items.

The students are required to read a book of their choice prior to the first day of school.  Please complete the Story Flag.  Please download it from our website and return it on the first day of school using the following guidelines.
