• Please work with your child so they are learning to tie their own shoes.

• If your child cannot tie their own shoes, double tie your child’s shoes or send them with shoes that do not have laces.

• Your child will need to wear tennis shoes for P.E. and Health days.

Dear First Grade Families,

We wanted to take a moment to share an update regarding lunchtime procedures in our cafeteria. Starting at 11:15 each day, students have the opportunity to purchase snacks and seconds. “Seconds” refers to a second helping of an individual food item from the day’s lunch. In addition, students may choose to purchase snack items such as chips or ice cream.

These purchases are completely optional, but we encourage you to have a conversation with your child so they understand what this means and can make informed choices.

Please note that in order for students to purchase snacks or seconds, they must have money loaded onto their school cafeteria account ahead of time. No cash transactions are accepted at the time of purchase.

If you have any questions about your child's lunch account or would like to add funds, please visit the school's payment portal.

Thank you for your continued support,
The First Grade Team

**Important Notice: Early Student Check-Out Policy Update**

To ensure a smooth and safe dismissal process, parents or guardians will no longer be able to check their child out from the front office after 2:45 PM. If you arrive after this time, you will be directed to pick up your child from their regular dismissal location. This change is necessary because last-minute check-outs can cause confusion and safety concerns, making it difficult to inform teachers and adjust dismissal procedures promptly.

**If you need to check your child out early for any reason, please do so BEFORE 2:45 PM.**
