Welcome to Grade One!

It has been a busy week getting used to routines and procedures for Grade One.

Upcoming Events and Reminders:

  • ·       Please pack your child with a small snack that can be finished quickly AND is separate from the lunch kit.
  • ·       Please ensure that your child can open and close all snack/lunch containers themselves, including their water bottle.
  • ·       Please have your child practice getting dressed and packing their own backpacks every day. Grade One students should be able to put on their outdoor gear and pack up their backpacks with their lunches and water bottles on their own. 
  • ·       Our "Meet the Teacher" Google Meet will be occurring this Thursday, September 9th at 6:30. Before this date, please try to log on using your child's unique email address and password that was given to you in the information package at the Ice cream Social. 
  • ·       Please send your child with an extra mask in their backpack just in case theirs gets dirty/lost. 
  • ·       Shoes: You have TWO options: 

Option One: your child should have a pair of black dress shoes (indoors #1), a pair of gym shoes (indoors #2), and a pair of outdoor shoes/boots. 

Option Two: your child should have a pair of athletic completely black shoes (that can be used in class AND gym) and a pair of outdoor shoes/boots. 

If you have not sent your child with shoes fulfilling either of these options, please do so by Wednesday. Velcro is best if your child does not know how to tie their shoes as I will not be tying shoelaces. 😉

  • ·       Homework will begin on Monday, September 13th. Look for the blue folder with homework book inside. 
  • ·       Make sure all of your child's personal items are labelled, especially uniform pieces, with permanent ink or stickers.
