2) Class Text Messages: To receive Text Message Notifications from me about 1st grade, please see the instructions below on how to sign up. It is highly recommended that all parents sign up for this service in order to receive quick updates, as I will not send these out via email. (Note: Standard Text Message Rates Apply).

3) Classroom Technology Permission Slip: Throughout the year, we will use a variety of digital resources. A few of these programs are non-district and therefore, require parent permission.

5) Gummy Bear Permission Slip: The weeks of July 18-July 25 are Teddy Bear/Friendship weeks in 1st grade.

First Day of First Grade

Help your child start the first day of first grade, ready to shine! Here are some things you can do BEFORE coming to school on July 14th:

1. School Supplies: Please check out the supply list here. Make sure your child has all of the necessary supplies.

2. Snack/Lunch: Please check out our Snack/Lunch section of our website by clicking here.

Write your child's full name and my name on the outside of his/her snack.
Use a disposable bag, like a Ziploc, for your child's snack.
Write your child's full name on the OUTSIDE and INSIDE of their lunch bag.
Have your child put their snack in one hand, and their lunch in the other hand, in order to make it easier during unpacking in the morning.

3. Rest/Sleep: First grade is a lot of fun, but it is also a longer day for your child. Make sure your child gets to bed early enough, to ensure AT LEAST 10-11 hours of sleep.
