Hello Grade 1/2 Families!

Today your child went home with a parent survey. Please complete promptly and send back to school. We also went home with our library books. We chose books that we were interested in. All library books are due back every Day 4.  Please keep Library books in the clear large ziplock.  Our reading program hasn't started, so no decodable books are coming home yet. Just picture books.

2)Library is on Day 4 (Friday)

4) Please read and sign your child's agenda daily as we communicate through this.  

*Also in your child's agenda on the first page is their username and password for their gapps account.  You need this to access their report cards via the family portal later on in the year.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email, write in your child's agenda, or ask.

Have a wonderful weekend with your children. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate.

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
