About Our Classroom, Room 401

School starts at 8:30am and ends at 2:50pm. Drop-off and pick-up are in the school yard in nice weather.  On rainy days, students arrive and dismiss from the classroom (our room is 401).  If you are late, please go to the main office. Obtain a late pass (to make sure your child will be marked late instead of absent) and then come to the classroom. If your child is going to be absent please either call the school or send in a note the next day. If you are running late to pick-up, please call the office. Children who are not picked up on time will wait in the school yard with a paraprofessional until 3:15pm and then will be brought up to the main office.

Special Classes

This year, our students will visit three different special classes - music, dance and art.  Maggie will teach art again, and we welcome Reina as our new dance specialist and Stephanie as our new music teacher!

Birthday Policy
If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday in class please just let us know ahead of time. We would like to celebrate birthdays at 2:15pm. Cupcakes or munchkins are better than cake because we don’t have to slice them! Also, juice boxes are better than juice because it makes the set-up and clean-up much easier.


Blog
Please check our blog regularly for updates about our class! To save paper, we will only occasionally send home notes in writing.

Homework
Homework will start in October. We will talk more about this on Curriculum Night.


Lunch Bills
Please pay all lunch bills in person in the office. Please do not send this money to school in your child’s folder.


Toys
EVCS has a "No Toys" policy. We follow this all-school rule as well. NO toys are allowed in our classroom.


James
James is the other 1st grade teacher. His room is right next door to ours. We will be collaborating and working with James often!

Water Bottles

First graders get thirsty! Students are allowed to keep a water bottle in school.  Please label your child's water bottle.
