First Grade Specifics

 Hello Families!

I wanted to reach back out with more specifics about the day to day life in First Grade but also get some information about your student. 

Parent Action Items:

1. Please fill out this survey about your student. Fill it out once per student. Click HERE for the survey.
2. Read the entire blog.
3. Get your student and their supplies to Supply drop off on Aug. 8th 4pm-6pm!
4. Keep checking your emails, the school and I will be sending more important info about the year.

Supply Drop Off:

• Aug. 8th 4-6pm! 
• Please bring all the supplies on the supply list! Please read the list carefully and only label what needs to be. 
• Do NOT fill your student's pencil box. We will have an activity on the first day to do this.
• You will get your Driveline Number which is very important for dismissal.

What to Bring DAILY:

• Good Attitude!
• Backpack
• School Issued Chromebook *if you do not have one, your student will be assigned one once school starts.
• 2 Snacks ( we will have two snack times a day)
• Full water bottle (Pop tops, no straws)
• Home Lunch if preferred
• Jacket or sweater
• LABEL PERSONAL ITEMS
• NO toys.

Important Things to consider:

• Slowly get into a school schedule. It does take practice and time to get this one down. Don't wait till the first day to wake your student up early. It will not go well for anyone! Doors open at 7:45 am at school and then students are expected to be in their classrooms not later than 8:10.
• Set up a spot for Chromebook charging at home. Your student will need to charge it every night so make a specific area for it. 
• Talk with your student about the new school year. See if they have any questions!
• If you want to go the extra mile you could start teaching your student how to tie shoes! This helps not only your child but me! With 30 coming into our class it tends to be a lot of shoes that need to be tied. My back thanks you! 😜

Daily Schedule:

• Arrival is staggered. Students with the last name starting with A-M arrive from 7:45-7:55 and last names with N-Z arrive 7:55-8:05. School starts at 8:10. 
• Lunch and Recess is at 12:10-12:50pm. Please avoid checking out students for appointments during this time.
• Specials is from 12:50-1:30 pm. 
• Dismissal is at 3:25 pm. *If you are going to check out your student early I would suggest checking them out before 2:45 pm.
