Welcome back first grade families! We hope you all enjoyed your time off with your little ones. It is so hard to believe that we are already half way through first grade and a week into 2019! I am looking forward to all that lies ahead, and this week am feeling grateful to welcome routine back into my life.
Mark your Calendars:
Conferences Monday-Wednesday after school
Club Registration January 7-11
No School January 21st
This semester we will introduce agendas in the first grade. Your child will still receive the cover sheet listing homework, in addition they will copy it into their agendas and this will need to be signed nightly. Next year your child will rely solely on the agenda for homework. Please reach out via email if you have further questions.
