Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I was so excited to meet all of the students today and look forward to a wonderful year of learning ahead!   We spent the morning getting to know each other, learning classroom routines, etc.  The first few weeks of school are all about establishing routines, classroom expectations, etc.  It will take us a little while to settle in but today we were off to an excellent start! I will be teaching your child each morning. I teach the English subjects of Math, Language and Family Life. Mrs. Gravelle will be providing the students with Religion instruction. 

Thank you to those parents who sent in donations of tissue, indoor shoes, pencil cases, etc. It is most appreciated!

Important Information about Snacks/Lunches/Allergies:
Your child should have enough food for 2 snacks and a lunch. I suggest that you send in 3 snacks in addition to a lunch. In the mornings, I strongly encourage them to eat healthy snacks only (fruit, yogurt, cheese, hummous and pita, etc.) and save their treats (cookies, chips, etc.) for lunch and/or their afternoon snack.

Please note that we DO have students in our class with severe, life threatening allergies and we would appreciate your cooperation in refraining from sending food with peanuts or tree nuts to school.  Thank you very much for your understanding. 

Agendas and Home-School Communication:
Today your child received their agenda and a bundle of notes, many of which are items that need to be completed and signed by parents at home. Please look through this material carefully and return necessary documents to school as soon as possible. Also, please sign/initial your child's agenda each night and check the agenda pocket for any notes, etc.


Student-Led Program Night September 11th from 5:30-7:00 p.m.:
Please take this opportunity to come and see your child's classroom and meet their teachers.  There will be more information shared during the evening. I look forward to meeting the parents whom I have yet to meet!

Thank you!
Mrs. Stratford
