Expectations of 1st Grade Parents

Communicate Any Concerns!

• When concerns or problems are brought directly to me, I am able to address them right away. Please make sure to inform me of any small concerns that you may have before they become a larger problem.

Stay Informed!

• Please be sure to check your child's yellow folder daily to see what they are bringing home. Many times they bring home important forms to be signed and returned. 

• Class Dojo is a great way to find out information in regards to upcoming events and contact me with any concerns. 

• Please be sure to check Skyward to stay up informed on your child's grades and assignments. If there are any assignments or test grades that concern you, please reach out to me. I want your child to be able to do the best they can in school and showcase what they know. 

Stay Positive!

• It can be difficult at times to remain positive when faced with a challenge or a disappointment. Your child will look to you to see how you react to certain situations. Your positivity leads to positive thinking by your child. The belief and encouragement of your child can help them to develop a sense of confidence and self-worth.
