Welcome to First Grade!

Hello First Grade Families! Can you believe that summer break is coming to an end and a new school year is about to begin? I am excited about the upcoming school year and wanted to update you on some important information.  Meet the Teacher Night will take place on Tuesday, August 9^th, from 6-7:30 pm. On that night, you may visit the classroom, drop off school supplies, and fill out important paperwork.  Bringing your child’s school supplies that night will help get our first day off to a great start. 

School Supply List:

1 pair of scissors

1 package of post-it/sticky notes

1 small school box

1 package of black dry erase markers

2 boxes of 24 count crayons

1 package of yellow 24 count #2 pencils

1 inch 3 ring binder (new or used)

4 glue sticks

1 spiral notebook

1 glue bottle

1 small flashlight

Wish List Items:

Washable markers

Extra glue sticks

Extra black dry erase markers

*We do NOT need tissues, earbuds, or pocket folders with prongs! :)

You might notice that the list is slightly different from the district supply list.  I only included items that we will actually use in hopes of saving you a little money.

Our first day of school will be on Thursday, August 11th.  The first bell rings at 8:20 and school officially starts at 8:40 each day. 

I also have one more bit of information to announce. My husband and I recently welcomed a new baby boy into our family just two weeks ago.  Because of this, I will be taking some time off at the beginning of the year. Don’t worry! Dr. Prevo and I selected a wonderful person to fill in for me while I’m gone.  Her name is Ms. Baker, and she has a degree in in elementary education. She will be at Meet the Teacher Night, so you will have a chance to meet her before school actually begins.  Let me know if you have any questions.  You can email me at laurahappel@willardschools.net. Thank you all for being so understanding while I take this time with my family.

I look forward to meeting you all at Meet the Teacher Night!
