Welcome to First Grade!My e-mail is tkahn@jacksonsd.orgI am looking forward to a fun-filled year of learning and growth for your child. All they will need for the first day of school is a backpack to transport their work to and from school, a lunch if they are not purchasing one from the cafeteria and a water bottle each day. I will provide them with a folder, pencils, crayons, glue, and scissors.I recommend establishing an area where they can complete their homework. Pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue will be needed at home.I am looking forward to meeting you at Back to School Night on September 24th at 7:00 P.M. to go over our First Grade Curriculum.Remind is an app I will be using to communicate with you.

Bucket Filling

Birthdays will be celebrated at lunchtime in the cafeteria. To be sensitive to allergy concerns, non-edible items (e.g. toys, stickers, pencils) are strongly encouraged for these celebrations so that all children can participate in the celebration.If you choose to send in a snack, consider a healthy snack. One that can easily be distributed to classmates. Ice-cream cakes and whole cakes cannot be accommodated by the food service staff. You can deliver your item and/or treat to the receptionist or send it with the birthday child. Visitors are not permitted in the cafeteria. Birthday and/or party invitations are not handed out in school, under any circumstances. However, parents are invited to join the class “party list” which will be distributed to parents that join the list. We have 25 students. Please remember we are a peanut free class!
