Hello First Grade Families,
Although we had a bit of illness going through our class... I think we have made it through the worst of it! Our cleaning crew did some special disinfecting things and both Mrs. Gray and myself are also doing some extra things too; thorough hand washing and extra table and shared surfaces cleaning. Fingers crossed we are on the right track!
Reminders:
October 29: Halloween Festivities! Students may bring a costume to school to wear during the parade and party. Please keep in mind that there is no private place for the students to change. The costume should slip easily over their clothes.
- All School Parade starts at 1:30
*Parents are invited to view the parade at the baseball field behind our school.
- Classroom Parties 2:00-2:30 (students and teachers only) A link to a Sign-Up Genius was included in this email. If you would like to provide part of our treat please complete that portion of the sign-up.
November 16 and 18. ZOOM Parent/Teacher Conferences. A Sign-up Genius will be sent out by November 1. If you have any comments or concerns related to this please get in touch with me via email.
