Dear First Grade Families,
I hope this email finds you well. I want to keep you informed about important updates that you and your child will need for this week, 3/18-3/22. Here’s a brief overview:
Missed Test
If your child has missed the Friday tests, please schedule a make-up session within the week of their return. Monday is preferable or Thursday if we’re out on Monday. All missed tests will be done after school at 3:15-3:30pm. Additionally, kindly provide the necessary documentation (doctor’s note) for your child to take the make-up test.
Nonfiction Cereal Box Project
This project will be due on April 15th 2024. Instructions and template were sent March 15th. Please make sure to follow instructions to receive full credit.
Pretend City field trip
We will have our last educational trip on April 18th to Pretend City with the 2nd graders. We will split all costs with the 2nd grade class (bus and entrance fee). Permission slips were sent out last Wed, 3/13. We are hoping that our fish fry and other funds will cover for all the expenses. I’ll keep everyone updated once we have all the funds.
Mass with Father Figures, Tuesday, March 19th
March 19 is the Feast of St. Joseph, the patron saint of fathers. We will be having a “Mass with Father Figures” in the church. Fathers, grandpas, and uncles or other adult father figures may come to Mass for a special blessing.
Please note that Father Figures are asked to attend Mass that day, but there will be no donuts after Mass.
Spring Picture Day is Thursday, March 21, 2024 Students who will be having pictures taken, are able to come to school in appropriate FREE Dress. 8th Grade will also be having their Graduation pictures taken on March 21, 2024. (Please note there are 2 different fliers attached to this email) The fliers with photo package information are attached for your convenience.
- The code number is 2405 for the Spring Photos and
- The code number 2406 is only for the 8th Grade Graduation photos.
Go to keysstudios.com click on “view and order school photos” then enter the correct school code. If you are paying with a check, our child’s name and grade needs to be on the envelope with your payment AND the package number you are purchasing in an envelope on March 21, 2024. Your child will turn in the envelope to the photographer.
