A FEW REMINDERS
- Please remember that 1st grade goes to the library on Fridays. Students need to return their books Friday morning to be able to check out new books from the library. Students will now only check out 1 book each week due to not returning books on time.
- Fall time is definitely here and it is getting chilly outside. Please send appropriate outerwear for recess time.
- Students are also getting chilly in the classroom. Students may wear a sweat shirt or light sweater in the classroom. However, please talk with your child about not putting the hood part on their head in the classroom.
- Please remember to send in a daily snack for your child that can be eaten within 10 minutes.
- Please practice tying shoes at home.
- Please remember to send a water bottle with a flip top lid.
