A Few Things to Know for the First Day...

  • Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school, preferably with a sports top to prevent spills. We are fortunate to have an air-conditioned room, though I actually think it is a little TOO cool.  You may want to have a sweatshirt on hand.
  • Hot lunch starts Wednesday! It includes milk. The menu can be found on the district website. Your student can bring his or her own lunch or order a hot lunch with me each morning. Make sure your student knows whether or not to order.
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables are welcome as a morning and/or afternoon snack. I tell my students it should look like it was just picked. Harder-to-eat foods would best be prepared at home (peel an orange, cut up an apple, etc.)
  • Please fill out the two forms to the left.
  • Parents are welcome, though not required, to come in the room tomorrow morning to watch as students begin their first day. We have an assembly at 8:20, so we will say goodbye then.
  • Please bring any school supplies on Wednesday or as soon as you have them. Folders, scissor handles, supply boxes, and headphones are the only things that need to be labeled.
