Our First Week

Hello Families,

We had a great first week together! It has been so much fun learning about one another and getting back into our school routines. We will continue to do a lot of activities next week to help build our classroom community. Our number one concern at this point, is that your child feels safe, comfortable, and a valuable member of our classroom family.  Thank you for sharing your child with us! We are truly enjoying them and can’t wait to have an awesome year with them.

Important reminders:

* Don't forget to fill out

ParentQuestionnaire

 *Curriculum night will be Wednesday, September 14th from 5:30-6:30pm. The 2nd grade team will be giving the presentation together as a team. If you are unable to attend, we will be sending home the PowerPoint via email after Curriculum Night.

 *Picture Day will be September 29th.  More information will be coming home at a later date.

 *Snacks- Please send two nutritional snacks a day. Also, please send a spoon if your child’s snack requires one. As these snacks are “brain food”, we are kindly asking that you don’t send any sugary snacks (i.e. brownies, candy bars, etc) and no snacks containing nuts due to allergies in our classroom and other classrooms. If your child would like to bring a water bottle to school with them, that’s great.  Please just make sure that it is in a spill-proof bottle.  Thank you so much!

 *Everyday Folder- Please be sure to look at any notes in your child’s daily folder and send your child’s daily folder back to school every day.

 Art Shirt and P.E. Shoes- If your child doesn’t have an art shirt at school, please send one in as soon as possible. Also, be sure your child has tennis shoes for P.E. class on our gym day! You can find our class’ specials schedules on the back of your child’s Everyday Folders.

 Dismissal- As a reminder, teachers are not allowed to let children enter the parent pick up line, if they regularly ride the bus (or are CARE) WITHOUT a note from his/her parent. Thank you for understanding! We want to keep your wonderful children safe. If your child has a change in the way they are getting home for that day, please send a written note. If the change happens AFTER your child is already in school, please call the office to let them know.  They will make sure we get the message.  If you send an email, we don’t always have a chance to check this during the day, so we may not be aware of this change. 

 *E-mail Distribution List -one last reminder…if you did not send me an email saying “Please use this email for our class distribution list”, please do so as soon as possible. 

*Blog-If you have not signed up for our classroom blog, please do so soon.  I will be sending these newsletters on the blog only, from now on.  Once you have signed up, don’t forget to accept the blog’s invitation on your e-mail.  Thank you!!

Have a great weekend! We look forward to another fabulous week with your lovely children!
