Vol. 5 Issue 1

Welcome to First Grade!
 Click here for class schedule.
First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. I am looking forward to a very exciting and productive year working with your child. I will strive each day to make learning a fun and enriching process for your child. I believe we are a team, working together, to help your child thrive academically. Our collaboration is a key component of a successful year. 

Email Addresses Needed

Please click here to send me a quick hello (email). I need to create a 2015-2016 parent group email list. I'll cut-and-paste the addresses listed in your messages.

Snacks & Allergies
Please send in a healthy snack with your child every day! Water is the only drink allowed in the classroom. Snack should be a small amount of food able to be eaten in under 10 minutes. PLEASE - no candy, chips or high-sugar foods. We are unable to heat or refrigerate food at school. Please provide utensils if food requires it. Sarah Smith is a NUT AWARE school. This includes tree nuts (walnut, almond, hazelnut, cashew, pistachio, and Brazil nuts) and peanuts. Please keep this in mind when you send in food for the class (i.e. birthdays). If I find out about any more allergies, I will update all parents


No Flip Flops
 This year at Sarah Smith, flip flops are prohibited. Shoes should be laced and tied or fastened (e.g., Velcro or snaps) at all times. All footwear need to have straps or support across the heel of the foot (sandals with backs are ok). For PE, students must have shoes that are safe and appropriate for participation (athletic shoes only). We have PE on Mondays and Thursdays during the first quarter.
