Back to School Information

Hello Neuse Families!

I am so happy I got to meet you all during Open House. There was a lot of information sent home so I hope you were able to spend some time looking over it and browse through the blog for any information.
First grade is a very hard year for most students. They come in as little kids needing help with almost everything. However, I promise you that by the end of the year they will be mature little students who know how to walk in a line, read, and know the ins and outs of our classroom procedures!
We will be having a parent information meeting on August 28 at 5:30. This will be a time where we will go over our curriculum and also what to expect in first grade for your student. I hope you are able to make it.

A few tips for this upcoming week:

* Please make sure to send your student with extra water. We do not have a fountain in our classroom and they are not allowed to go get a drink of water by themselves down the hall (we would have to take the whole class for just one student to get a drink).

* Please make sure that you send your child with food that they are able to open up by themselves. I know this seems a little odd but when I have 25 students asking me to open up their food for them that could take up most of our lunch time. Thank you in advance!

* Please do not send your child with food that needs to be heated up. I am not allowed to do that due to our school policy. I apologize if this is an inconvenience for you.

* On my school supply tab I asked for no rolling back packs. We do not have room in our cubbies for these and it is a safety hazard if we have them stacked against a wall.

If you have any questions please fell free to email me. I look forward to seeing your student tomorrow!
