Welcome to Grade 1/2!

 

Dear Grade 1/2 Families:

Welcome to Grade 1/2. This week your child will come home with a BEE (Bring Everything Everyday) bag, and in it is an agenda. This agenda is very important for our communication this year. Please look at it together every night and return daily. 😀 There are some important notes for you to read as well as our daily timetable. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this period of adjustment. Some things may seem overwhelming now for you and your child, but very soon routine will settle in. I look forward to a wonderful year getting to know you and your child.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Petramala
