It's that time of year again! The cooler weather is really helping me get into the back-to-school mode, how about you? I am very excited to meet all of the new first graders and start the 2013-2014 school year at WMAES! Here are a couple of important notes to remember:
- School supply list can be found at http://www.wma-es.com/. Please let me know if you have trouble finding items or if I can be of any help to make sure your student is prepared for the school year.
- Please be sure to inform me of any allergies or medical issues your child may have.
- Check your child's folder daily for communications home; homework is given every Friday and is due the following Friday.
- If you would like to volunteer in our classroom or as a field trip chaperone, please check with the main office to be sure your volunteer paperwork is on file and up to date. We love volunteers! I have had parents and family members come in to tutor reading, help proofread student writing, help with parties, read stories to the class, share their family traditions, etc. Many parents choose to volunteer from home by preparing arts and crafts materials. Let me know if you ever want to join us!
- Let's make first grade an important and memorable year for your special student! Communication is key- always feel free to get in touch with me if questions or concerns arise: clareshubert@choiceschools.com or 791-7454.
