9-4-24,
First graders have been busy bees the first week of school! We talked about emotions, teamwork and kindness, and practiced writing our names, correct letter placement, and formation. This week we are introducing our lessons - Religion, English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Students are doing well settling into a daily routine.
All communication will occur through the daily folder or Parent's Page on the school website. Please check your child's folder daily, sign the Communication/Behavior form, and return it to school the next day.
Homework is to be completed nightly (Monday through Thursday) and returned in the folder the next morning.
-Supplies: Thank you to everyone that brought in their school supplies. Please bring in items ASAP if you haven't done so already.
-Snack: Please remember to pack a snack every day for your child. We do not have snacks available for those that have forgotten to bring one.
-Lunch: Daily school lunch counts are called in prior to 8:30am and cannot be changed or added to. If your child comes to school AFTER 8:30am, he/she will need to bring a cold lunch from home. Students will be unable to receive a school hot lunch that day.
-Specials:
Monday - Liturgical Music
Tuesday - Gym (please wear the appropriate gym uniform and tennis shoes)
Wednesday - Spanish
Thursday - Computers (please bring in headphones)
The Chromebook and Technology Use Agreement Form 2024-2025 went home on Tuesday. Please sign and return by Thursday. All forms must be returned signed. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
-Recess: We go outside daily unless the weather is bad. Cooler weather will be coming, so please make sure your child is dressed accordingly.
Please check the Parent's Page periodically for messages, updates, etc. I am looking forward to a great year with the kiddoes! Have a great rest of your day!
