Before and After School drop off and pick up info. for AFTER first day of school. See Intro letter for first day info. Thank you!

A quick reminder that students should drop off their backpacks and supplies and go to the playground in the morning before school.
At 8:30, students should line up on the playground with the class.
TP#1 shift is at curbside by the MPR in spot#2 until 8:30.
TP#2 starts at 8:30 helping students line up on the playground and walk to  the classroom after the bell.
No TP's are working in the classrooms before school. We teachers use this as team planning and personal planning time.  Students should only be in the hallways before school to drop off their backpacks before going down to the playground to play where they can be safely supervised.
 
First grade pick up and drop off happens at the front of the school.  Please use the convenient drop-off/pick up loop.  If you want to walk your child in, please walk them only as far as the front of the office and say goodbye there.
 
At pick up, you should wait for your child in your car or at the front of the school.  Please don't wait outside the classroom, as it is disruptive. We are trying to foster independence. Parents congregating in the hallways also makes it difficult for us to get the children to the front where they are to wait for carpool on the benches. Thanks so much for your guidance and cooperation.
 
I am happy to meet with you to answer your questions. If you would like to make an appointment, please email me and we will set up a time that works for both of us. I feel bad when I am unavailable to answer your questions or have a discussion before school. It's a busy time and some days I am free but some days not.
Thank you!

Welcome to First Grade! 2019-2020


I am happy to welcome you to first grade! The first day of school we will meet at the classroom, room 10. School starts at 8:30. Please be sure your child is on time. Please bring their supplies the first day. Items will be collected and most will be shared in the classroom. There is NO need to individually label your child's crayons, markers, glue, etc. 
 
The second day and from then on, we will meet in line down on the playground at the bottom of the ramp at the 8:30 arrival time. Please be sure your child is on time and ready to begin their day. Please arrive before 8:30 to allow your child time to hang their backpack and items on their hook in the first grade hallway and go down to the playground in time for the 8:30 bell. If you are not on the playground at 8:30 at the bell, your child will be marked tardy.
 
Dismissal is at 2:35. Please meet your child at the curb, in first grade you do NOT pick them up at the classroom, we walk them up. They will meet you at the curb, not at the classroom. 
 
Prior to the first day of school please send me an email or send a note the first day to let me know if your child goes to sibling watch, the curb/carpool, or to Kid's Corner. If you are not able to pick up your child, please let me know who will be picking them up. Designated people must be on file in the office on your forms. 
 
We take lunch count in the classroom for the next day. On Monday, I take the count for Tuesday, etc. We do not have a note that goes home. Please help your child to learn and know if they are buying lunch that day and the following day. It is a work in progress the first few weeks. If you are not certain your child can remember, you can send me a note until they get the hang of things. They are pretty good at it. 
 
Homework and other info will be posted here on Edlio regularly.
