Guess What's Coming Home?!

Get ready — library books are hitting backpacks soon!

Each week, your little reader will bring home new books to explore — maybe a silly story, maybe a fun fact-filled adventure. Storytime and learning time, all in one! 🌟

Here's how you can help our books stay happy and healthy:

• 🏠 Give them a cozy, dry spot to live (no floors, backpacks are best!)

• 📅 Return books on library day — this is how your reader gets to pick a brand-new adventure each week! No return, no new book. 📖➡️📖

• 🤲 Little hands are still learning big responsibilities — your help means the world!

A gentle note: Accidents happen! If a book does get lost or damaged beyond repair along the way, families are asked to help cover the cost so we can keep our shelves stocked for everyone. 💛

Thanks for helping us raise a class full of book lovers! 📖💫

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.
