Welcome to 1st Grade!

I enjoyed meeting many of you on Tuesday. We are going to have a wonderful year full of learning, making new friends and having lots of fun!

A few reminders for the first day of school:
~ Give a quick hug and goodbye at the door.
~ Tell me how your child is going to get home on the first day.
~ Take the brown envelope on your child's desk. This is full of important information that needs to be read carefully, signed and returned to school. Please return all information to me in the brown envelope. If you don't receive your envelope Monday morning I will send it home with your child that afternoon.

Inside your child's white take home binder you will find the daily discipline calendar. The children will color the circle in green if they have had a day full of good choices. If they have not made the best of choices and have been reminded then they will receive a ticket and that will be noted on the calendar. There is a detailed Behavior Management Plan in the brown envelope that explains our ticket system in First Grade. Please keep in mind that first graders receive letter grades for subjects as well as conduct. You will initial the calendar each night. Please encourage your child to make good choices every day.

The lunch choices for Monday is pizza or chicken salad. The cost for lunch is $1.50.
Your child will be given a lunch number that needs to be memorized. Your child will tell the cashier their lunch number as they purchase lunch each day. Please help your child memorize their number.

We will have a quick snack time each afternoon. Your child may purchase juice and snack from the school or bring a small juice and HEALTHY snack from home. If your child chooses to buy snack from school you must buy for the entire week. Juice and snack are not sold on a daily basis. Also, you may only buy juice and snack on Mondays unless you are absent. Juice is $2.50 for the week and snack is $2.50 for the week. The only juice offered is orange juice and I am not sure of exactly what snacks will be offered this year. I will let you know as soon as I find out.

Thank you so much for sharing your precious child with me. Have a great Monday!
