First Grade Teacher Tips

Wear "playground safe" shoes daily.  Make sure your child can wear shoes they can manage on their own (velcro or laces).  Wear sneakers on PE days.  No light up or wheeled shoes please.
Please keep all toys, trinkets, jewelry, and special treasures at home. 
Clean out backpacks often.

Weekly envelopes are sent home weekly with school paperwork and some classwork.   Please empty the envelope and send it back the following day.  

     Label backpacks and all water bottles, lunch boxes, hats, sweatshirts etc. with firstt name and last name. (Sally Gomez or Sally G.)

    Please choose a simple backpack that can hook up and that your child can open/close on their own. No wheeled suitcase backpacks please, these are difficult in crowded hallways.      

Snack recess - send an extra snack
