    Early Release Days: We have 2 early release days this year.

    Snacks: We will have 1 snack daily during class.  Please send a sports-topped water bottle and a healthy snack with your child each day.  I always welcome extra healthy snacks in case children forget theirs. : )

    Birthday Parties:  You may contact the cafeteria manager and she will work with you to facilitate purchasing ice cream tickets for your child to share with the entire class during lunch.  Birthday party invitations are not permitted to be passed out at school.

    Daily Reading Homework:  Homework will consist of nightly reading. Please help your child by listening to them read books or material he/she brings home. 

    Daily Folder:  This folder will also contain a calendar with a fine arts schedule. School flyers and completed work will be sent home on Tuesday in all grades. Please remove the papers and discuss their work at home. Return the folders empty to class the next day.

    Thank you for helping us put our guidelines into place so that we will have a great and successful First Grade Year! This is such a special time in your child’s life…ENJOY IT everyday…treasure these moments!
