Dear Parents,
We hope you had a great weekend! The children did a great job last week and are ready for a year filled with learning and fun!

  • Please remember to check our class blog every Monday. This is your weekly letter; it might be a good idea for you to print it out. Our homework tracker, important dates and notices will all be posted on this blog.
·         In order for the First graders to begin their day properly, it is very important that everyone be at school on time. Our day promptly begins at 8 o’clock.
·         Homework will be sent home Monday –Thursday.
·         Every student needs to bring a water bottle / thermos to school.(School does not supply paper cups)
·         Show and Tell: The first graders are very excited about Show and Tell. A reminder will be sent home with your child letting you know what day he/she will be presenting to the class. We will discuss more about Show and Tell during Open House.
·         Please feel free to contact Ms. Ivonne or myself via email or cell phone if you have any questions or doubts:
