Dear First Grader and Parents,

 Welcome to first grade!  I am so excited to be your teacher this year.  We are going to have a lot of fun while we learn all sorts of new things.

The first day of school is Tuesday, September 6th.  Students may enter the school as early as 8:30 AM but are expected to be in the classroom no later than 8:50.  Students should wear or bring sneakers as we will have PE or play on the playground that day.  Also, please send a healthy light snack with your child.

Lunch the first day of school will be turkey sandwich, chicken tenders, or PBJ.  The cost of lunch has increased this year to $1.80 for students.  Students may pay by the day, week, or month.  Please send any money to school in a marked envelope with your child’s name on it.  It is usually much easier for your child if you set up an account through the cafeteria.  This avoids misplaced money and extra worries for your child.

We will have an OPEN HOUSE on September 1st between 5:30 and 6:30. When you come to Open House, please bring your supplies with you.  If for some reason you are unable to attend, you can bring your supplies on the first day of school. Our classroom is room 105 which is located at the very end of the main hall.

At Open House I will have a parent handbook that will give a brief overview of what first grade is all about in our classroom.  I am also working on updating my website throughout the summer, so check www.1000islandsschools.org under the Guardino tab to find my webpage or go to http://mrsfreitag.weebly.com/

Attached to this letter you will find your child’s supply list.  Please let me know if there is any difficulty in obtaining these supplies.  I do not want it to be a burden on anyone.  I usually have some extras in the classroom if needed.

Enjoy the rest of the summer with your family.  Please make some time to review sight words and numbers with your child.  Make time to read with your child and maybe even visit the library in Clayton.

I look forward to seeing you on September 1st at Open House.

                                                                                                                                 Your friend,
                                                                                                                                 Mrs. Freitag
