Change of Clothing: Accidents happen! Please ensure that your child has an extra change of clothes in their backpack each and every day!

Lunch and Snack: Please be sure your child is aware of where their lunch and snack are located. Make sure their snack is separate from their lunch. (Example: lunch in their lunchbox & snack in their backpack). Each morning, classroom teachers will take a “lunch count”. Please ensure your student is aware if they are buying lunch from school or bringing lunch from home. This will help make the process seamless!

Blue Take Home Folder: Your student came home with a blue take home folder! Please ensure it is in your students backpack pack everyday, and that you are frequently checking your students blue folder for any work and/or important information being sent home.
