Folders: Please check your child’s folder on a daily basis.  Important things, such as homework and school related letters, will be placed in his or her folder. Please be sure to empty your child’s folder daily.

Snack Time: Please provide your child with a filling and wholesome snack and a separate drink for snack each day. If necessary, please place your child’s snack in a separate bag, labeled with his or her name and the word SNACK, to avoid snack/lunch food confusion.

Birthdays:  We love birthdays in first grade! Please write me a note or an email, prior to your child’s birthday, if you are planning to send in something special for the class, such as donating a game to the classroom for indoor play, a book for the shared library, individual pencils, stickers, erasers, etc. (…or feel free to make another food-free suggestion. In order to provide a safe, caring, and sensitive environment at Rolling Hills and in our classroom, we will not be distributing food this year for birthdays, class parties, events, or lessons.)

Correspondence:  All notes should be clearly labeled and placed in your child’s folder. Please notify him or her of its presence to ensure that I receive it.  Also, please encourage your child to place the correspondence directly into my MAILBOX when he or she arrives to school.
