Mr. Rob and his custodial team have our school and the grounds looking like new. The teachers are working hard to prepare their classrooms and the curriculum — attending trainings and meeting with their teams at school. Our Parent Club is meeting to plan events to support students and family. All of this activity means that the calendar has a turned to August which means it’s time to countdown to the first day of school!
There are 24 days until the first day (September 6). Somethings to keep in mind:
- School begins at 8:45 and ends at 3:45
- All teachers and recess supervisors will be on the playgrounds and bus loop to greet students on the first day.
- Pack two healthy snacks and a water bottle for the first day..and everyday.
- Pack a lunch or plan to have your child take hot lunch. Link to breakfast/lunch information.
Some things you can do to prepare for the first day:
- PLAN to attend open house – K August 29 @ 6:30 pm; Gr 1-5 August 30 @ 6:30 pm
- Sign up for email updates on your child’s class blog and look for school supply — all available on the right sidebar.
- Review APPLESEED article on First Day of School Preparations.
- Set aside 10-30 minutes per day (at least) for you child to turn on his/her learning brain by logging into MOBYMAX (practice math fact fluency, reading, etc.) and reading books.
- Search for and cut out BOX TOPS!
I am very excited to get the year started…and I am excitedly counting down!
