ATTENTION PARENTS!
Welcome back Folsom families!
We are busy getting everything ready for your students to join us back in the library, whether that be in-person or virtual! If you have library books or guided reading books at home from last year, please send those to school either with your child or you can leave them in the office if your child is an eLearner. Please know that we will be taking extra precautions to make library visits a safe and healthy experience for every child! If you ever have any questions for our librarian, Mrs. Buck, you can email her at cbbuck@prosper-isd.net. You can also visit our new library webpage at https://sites.google.com/prosper-isd.net/folsom-elementary-library/home.
Please Be Aware!
We would appreciate it if you did not post videos or images of your student’s teacher or their classmates online. We would like to maintain the privacy of the learning environment as much as we possibly can.
Thank you very much,
First Grade Teachers
