Our Week in First Grade🍎

Weather Reminder:

Our weather is very temperamental! Remember to check the weather and plan ahead. Please be sure students have weather appropriate clothing for recess at 11:00. Please remember to have all jackets and water bottles labeled with your child's name.

Dismissal Reminder:

Thank you for your patience as we continue to streamline our dismissal process. Your cooperation helps us keep our students safe and our line moving as quickly as possible!

Snacks & Water Bottles:

We kindly ask that students bring a water bottle and a daily snack to help them stay hydrated and focused throughout the day.

We truly appreciate every family who supports us through our paid membership tiers. Those contributions make events like this possible! We also offer a *FREE membership* option, so anyone who'd like to volunteer can join at no cost. A free membership also lets you help at many more PTO events throughout the year.
