• Dear First Grader & Family,

          Welcome to First Grade!  I am looking forward to this opportunity to work with you and your first grader this school year.  If at any time you have any questions or concerns as the year progresses, please contact me at the school (965-2742), email (akwilos@forestville.com), or cell (560-7161).  You are welcome to text if that is more convenient or message me on ClassDojo.

     

    DAILY FOLDER –Your child will be bringing home a yellow folder each day.  Please check this folder for important notes, class work, and/or homework assignments.  The pocket labeled ‘keep at home’ contains papers that can be kept at home.  Any papers in the ‘return to school’ pocket needs to be returned to school after completing them.  Please keep the behavior calendar in this folder.  I will use this folder as one means of communication and if you wish to do the same, please send a note in this folder.  

     

    CALENDARS – Your child will bring home a monthly lunch/breakfast menu, a behavior claendar which stays in his/her yellow communication folder, and a monthly itinerary from the office with district wide information.

     

    HOMEWORK – Your child will bring home words and math facts on a ring to practice.  If your child is absent, work will be sent home upon request to the office the day of the absence, to a sibling, or upon return to school.  In the case of COVID-19 quarantine, work will be sent home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

     

    RULES –           

    I can raise my hand to talk

    I can use my inside voice

    I can keep my hands and feet to myself

    I can have a sharpened pencil

    I can be positive

    I can try my best because any job worth doing, is worth doing well

     

    BEHAVIOR – Your child’s behavior will be communicated to you through a behavior calendar that needs to stay in your child’s yellow communication folder.  You can also track your child's behavior on the ClassDojo app and/or website.  Bullying is not tolerated in our school.  Please see the school handbook for further information.

     

    FIELD TRIPS – Due to COVID 19 field trips have been put on hold.

     

    SNACK – Students will have the opportunity to enjoy a healthy snack during the school day.  Due to food allergies, I have each child bring in their own snack each day.  A healthy snack can be fruit, crackers, pretzels, etc.  Avoid unhealthy snacks like chips, candy bars, pixie sticks, suckers, soda, etc.  If you would like your child to have a snack in the afternoon, please send a snack with them.

     

    BIRTHDAYS – To avoid hurt feelings, please do not send birthday invitations to school to pass out unless everyone is invited.  If you would like to send something in to school for your child’s birthday, please contact me prior so we can plan accordingly.

     

    BOOK ORDERS – We will send home a book order if you wish to purchase books.  There will be return date written on the front of the order.  Please make checks payable to Scholastic Book Clubs.

     

          Thank you in advance for all of your help! 

                                                                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                                                                            Mrs. Allison Kwilos
