Dear First Grade Parents,

We would like to welcome you and your child to 1st Grade! We are very excited to be a part of your child’s educational experience. There are so many new and wonderful things that we will be discovering. We can’t wait to begin our journey.

We have included a name tag sticker for your child to wear on the 1st day of school. Please write our names (Cirigliano/Vella) on the sticker. Please also have your child wear their ID badge they were given last year.  If you are new or lost the ID badge, please call the school as soon as you receive this letter to get a new badge.

Your child will also need to bring their charged chromebook and headphones. Please test to make sure that the chromebook is working prior to the start of school.  If you have any problems, please call the school so it can be fixed or replaced prior to the first day of school.

Please review your child’s dismissal procedure with them, so they are comfortable with how they are going home.

We will discuss specific classroom procedures at Back to School Night. Of course, if you have any questions prior, please do not hesitate to contact us at lacirigliano@jacksonsd.org and kvella@jacksonsd.org. Below is a list of voluntary supplies that would be helpful to begin the school year. We look forward to an amazing school year and we are excited to meet our new 1st graders on Thursday, September 5th.

  Suggested items:

*1 hard pencil case

*2 folders (side pockets)

*1 pkg of post it notes

*pen (any color, except red)

*black Sharpie marker

*box of tissues cubed

*pair of headphones or earbuds (used for Chromebooks) 

Please send in your child’s charged chromebook.

 We also encourage them to have their own leak-proof water bottle.

                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                               Miss Cirigliano and Mrs.Vella
