Welcome back!

 I am so happy to have you in my class this year.  We are going to have an amazing time and work together as a TEAM to ensure that this year is productive and memorable.  Please take some time to navigate through our daily website page where you will find much more information.  I look forward to seeing you all at our meet the teacher night on September 13, where we will discuss First Grade.
Mrs. Paccione

• 1. Our School day begins at 7:50am and dismissal is 2:30pm.  We enter and exit the school yard side door where the steps are.  Please remember that once we enter the building any student after that will be marked late. 
  2. All parents and guardians on file MUST write a note if your child is being dismissed differently than normal routine - ex: family member/grandparent,another parent in the school... picking up, aftercare, not taking the bus etc.
• 
  3. Children are allowed to have a REUSABLE PLASTIC water bottle in school throughout the day.  Please only send water in a spill proof container and please check them at home before putting them in their school bags. These water bottles should be separate from lunch bags.  NO METAL WATER BOTTLES/HYDRO FLASKS will be allowed.
•   
  4. Please adhere to the uniform policy that can be found in the "handbook" section of our website.  Students are allowed to wear their gym uniforms on Yoga and Gym days only.  Mrs. O’Connor has touched base with Flynn and O’Hara and they have confirmed that our school’s uniform is NOT on back order-therefore all students should be in proper uniform on the first day of school and moving foward.  
•  
  5.  Class birthdays can be celebrated in class.   Students are welcome to bring in a treat to celebrate their birthday with their classmates.  I ask that you stick to one thing: ex: vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes (not a choice of each)... same with munchkins… I will reach out later with any allergies that I become aware of.  Parents please email me at least one week prior to your child's birthday so that we can plan something together.  Summer birthdays will be celebrated during the month of June. 
•  
  6. Please email me with any questions or concerns you may have during the school year s.paccione@olqpsi.com.  Please understand if you are emailing me during school hours I will get back to you on a break, or during lunch time if I can.  If not, you will hear from me at the end of our school day.  I am available Monday-Friday.  
• 
  7. Please get into the habit of checking and reviewing your child's grades regularly on the report card website.  In addition all assessments are returned home in our “BLUE Tuesday Test Folder".  Parents MUST sign and empty out the folder every Tuesday when it comes home.  Please send it back on Wednesday mornings. Any and all monies must be put in an envelope, sealed with your child’s name and grade on it and the attention of whom it is going to…  Please DO NOT staple money to sheets.  Everything needs to be in an envelope.  
•  
• 8.  In first grade we use, on a daily basis, crayons, glue sticks, scissors and pencils.  PLEASE check your child’s pencils everyday and make sure they are sharpened…it’s part of homework.  All supplies will be kept at school on their desk in desk organizers that I bought for them.  If I see that they need something replaced I will write you a note in their “H” book.

9.  Please check their “H” book every night as we begin to introduce copying.  I will write notes in their book as well if need be.  

10.  If your child is absent, and you are requesting to pick up homework, it will be left at the office at 2:45… not before.  If it is going home with another student in the classroom or building, please call the office and let them know.  

11.  Please check website every night as well as "H" notebooks. Our google classroom is informative as well. Please use it.
