Dear Families,
Hello to everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful summer. I am writing to let you know a few things about the start of the school year. I look forward to working together with you all to make this year a success.
Set for Success is scheduled for August 25th at Morse High School from 10 am-1 pm. Visit this event for free school supplies. All are welcome! Here is the link if you want more information: SET FOR Success Event
Below is a suggested list of supply items students will need. Please let me know if this is a problem for you so that we can help out. I have extras of many of these items in the room and items from last year can certainly be re-used!
*pencils *markers (optional) *crayons *a pack of cap erasers
*a durable, plastic 2-pocket folder to be the “Take-Home Folder” *small pencil box
*1 box of tissues *headphones for computer use
*4 pocket folders: 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green, 1 yellow ( with prongs)
Students should have a pair of sneakers for PE.
Please remember it is always wise to label your child’s belongings with a permanent marker (lunch box, backpack, outerwear).
Odds and Ends:
First Day of School: School begins on September 3rd from 8:25 a.m. -3:00 pm.
Snack: We have snack time every morning. Students should bring a healthy, nutritious snack daily. They should also bring their water bottle to school every day. We have a sink for easy refilling.
Lunch: Students may get lunch and breakfast daily at no cost.
E-mail: My email address is bpols@rsu1.org. Please feel free to get in touch if I can answer any questions for you.
Back up clothing: I encourage families to send a complete change of clothes in a plastic bag, in case there is a spill or accident. It happens often! Your child can store this in the top of their locker. It can save you a trip to school if your child needs fresh clothes.
Class Blog: I have a classroom blog which can be found at this link: http://mrspolsssecondgrade.blogspot.com. There won’t be much there over the summer, but once the school year starts I post a weekly newsletter and pictures at the end of each week. There are also links with other information about our classroom.
Be on the lookout for a digital parent survey about your child via email that I will be sending out soon. I am so excited to begin a journey of learning and fun with your child. Please feel free to email me with any questions you have!
Sincerely,
Beth Pols
