Hello and Happy September!

 Hello Grade One Families!

Welcome to Grade One!  Your child this week went home with a green bag called a BEE bag (Bring Everything Everyday).  Please make sure you empty it every day and look for important notes or work that has been sent home. Please return the BEE bag daily with your child.  Next week I will send home our timetable.  I send monthly newsletters only.  I do not send monthly calendars.

Here are some reminders for our upcoming week.

1) A welcome letter was sent home this week.  Please read for important reminders in our classroom and in our school.

2) A parent survey went home this week.  Please fill out and send back to school by Friday September 16.

3) Sharing Star:

This star is to be filled out with your child about themselves.  A letter was sent home with the star to explain it.  Please send back with your child by September 19.

4) Agendas:  Agendas are a very important means of communication this year at school.  They are $6 and can be paid through School Cash online.

5) Please send lots of healthy snacks, water, indoor shoes and extra clothes that can be kept at school or in their backpacks.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.

Looking forward to being partners in your child's education this year!
