Here are some helpful tips to make your child's first grade year the best it can be!
School begins at 7:50.
Please allow your child to walk into his/her classroom alone. This helps your child become independent.
Quick good-byes are best. Please try not to linger at the doorway/hallway.
If you are picking your child up from the classroom after school, please be on time. School ends at 2:05 everyday except Wednesday. On Wednesdays, school ends at 12:30.
If your child’s after school routine changes, please write me a note to let me know.
Please send any money in a sealed envelope or zip loc bag with your child's name on the front, room number and for what purpose the money is being sent.
If you are sending lunch money--please submit this payment to the school office.
Label all jackets, backpacks, lunch bags, shoes, and umbrellas with your child's name.
Please keep all toys, collecting cards, etc… at home.
Sign his/her Homework Book after reviewing your child’s homework every school day.
If you need to drop something off after school is in session, please leave it at the school office.
If your child will be leaving school early, please notify me as soon as possible with a written note or email at least a day in advanced.
If your child is absent, homework can be requested for pick up at the school office after 2:15 after the second day of absence. You can always go online to view our homework also.
Encourage your child to talk about his/her day.
Be sure your child gets enough rest on school nights. I suggest a bedtime of 8:00.
