Book It! Reading Calendars
Reminder! Turn in you January Book It! (blue) Calendar by Monday, February 6, to receive your Pizza Hut coupon.
February Book It! Reading Log Calendars (pink) are in this weeks Monday/Tuesday Blue Folders.
Monthly Goal - 5 or more minutes of reading (child alone, co-read w/ a grown-up, or grown-up read to child) at least 20 days in the month.
Cold Weather is Here!
Cold Weather is official here! Students will continue to go outside for recess and need to be properly dressed and prepared for cold weather.
As many coats, hats and gloves look the same and are often the same size, please put your child's name or initials on one of the tags in case it gets left behind. This helps teachers and staff make sure your child has their jacket or coat. Thank You!
First Grade After School "Reading Club"
PE Days and Wednesday Chapel Reminder
Please remember to wear or bring tennis shoes on Tuesday and Wednesday for P.E.
Our Chapel time is each Wednesday at 10:35 - 10:55 am in the Church immediately after first recess. We also have PE on Wednesday's after lunch. This makes dressing special for Chapel days quite tricky. Students may bring clothes and tennis shoes to change into after Chapel.
*During winter students are encouraged to be dressed warm enough for outdoor play before Chapel. Due to the recess schedule, appropriate Chapel dress is more lenient.
Tying Shoes!
Reminder!
Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders
- Please drop off at the front door beginning at 8:00 am. Hallway bell to allow students to go to their classroom will ring at 8:10 am. Class begins at 8:15 am. The tardy bell is at 8:20 am.
- All students are picked up at 3:00 pm at the front. It is asked that students tell me goodbye so that I know they have been picked up by a caregiver. Students who are not picked-up by 3:10 will be taken to the office.
- If at anytime you need to drop-off early, please make arrangements in the office. Please contact me via Remind, email, or note if you will be picking up early. Thank You!
- REMINDER! Students dropped off at school before the doors are unlocked (and are not signed up for early care) are not being supervised.
