Hello First Grade Families,
Hope you are enjoying the weekend with family and friends! I certainly am. The elementary school Open House was so much fun! Thank you for taking the time to stop in to see the school, our classroom and chatting with Ms. Mellany and myself. It was so nice to see everyone.
I am busy preparing for our first full week of school and as we ease into new daily routines and exposure to student work, please keep in touch with me if needed as to how your child is doing with all of this.
Dates and Reminders:
- Wednesday September 28: Picture Day
- *You can still send in a family photo if you would like to be part of the family photo display in the hallway outside our classroom.
