Good Afternoon First Grade families,
Today we spent our time together practicing our mass, and fire drill procedures. We also made our classroom rules. Our firsties did an amazing job!
Pick up/ drop off
I just want to remind all of our first grade families regarding our pick up and drop off procedures. K-1 families CANNOT park during carline it causes major traffic and slows down the 2-8 pick up/drop off. Please park in the small lot and use the crosswalks to walk to the classrooms and drop off your children. Once again, You may NOT park in the carline and pick up your child. The front gate in 161st will be open for families with K-1 students.
Book fees
Just a heads up! If you haven’t paid your child’s book fees through facts or at the office, your child will not get their books. I am planning to start using the books starting next week.
School Mass
Our first grade class will start going to our all school mass starting on October 15. Right now, we will continue practicing our mass procedures and how we behave during mass. Students may just wear free dress tomorrow!
Supply box
Some students have the wrong size for our supply box. We sent home the wrong ones, please check your child’s backpack.
