The first days of school are a fun and exciting time for students. It also represents a big change for them – making new friends, meeting a new teacher, and learning procedures and school behavior all over again.

Teachers and staff will greet students on the first day of school in the breeze-way as you come in the school.  Students will have the opportunity to play and then we will meet on the C-14 dot when the bell rings.  I will be there to walk them to our classroom and we will begin our day!

Recess and Lunch:

The first grade schedule includes lunch at midday (11:00-11:45) and recess during midafternoon (1:15-1:35PM). Because of this schedule, please communicate to your child the difference between the food packed for lunch and the food packed for recess. Many first graders end up eating their entire lunch during lunchtime and have nothing left over for recess. One suggestion is to draw a "happy face" on the snack that is supposed to be brought out to recess. Placing a happy face on their snack will remind them of your conversation and will help your student feel successful during the first couple days of school.

Parent Pick Up:

Please make sure your iSchool Ride is up to date and your child is listed as a First Grader.

If your child is walking home with an older sibling or peer, they can meet the class at our dismissal spot on campus (by the playground) and I will release your child if you have already given me permission via email or note.

Please email Mrs Day at [email protected] if your child will be going home any other way than parent pick up.
