Just a few reminders...

It was wonderful to see so many of you today at Open House! As you begin packing lunches and picking out outfits for tomorrow I wanted to just remind you of a few things.
- Please make sure that as you complete paperwork it is sent to school with your child. I know there are many forms/pieces of paper the first few weeks, but all of the information you provide helps ensure a smooth transition back to school.
- When the morning bell rings each day our class lines up at the end of the building not the middle doors like in kindergarten.
- Please remember that we have a student with a severe nut allergy in our class this year so our classroom will be nut-free.
- Lastly, please don't ever hesistate to contact me with questions or concerns!

Welcome Miss Siekman!

I am very excited to introduce Elizabeth Siekman!  Miss Siekman is a senior at Saint Michael's College and will be with us through December.  Her time with us is the culminating experience for her degree in Elementary Education.  You will be receiving more information directly from Elizabeth soon, but in the meantime I wanted to make sure you had a name to put with her face!  Welcome Elizabeth!

Welcome Back!

I am so excited for the new school year to get underway!  I know that students and parents alike may be feeling an array of emotions at this time.  Please know that there will be many events to help ease students' worries as we move into the new year.  Additionally, I will try to provide as much information for parents as possible about curriculum, schedules, classroom routines and much, much more!  I am looking forward to working with all of you very soon!
