Welcome to 1st Grade!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to first grade! The upcoming year will be filled with many new and exciting adventures.  We can’t wait to get to know you and your children! The first day of school is Tuesday, September 3rd. 

Please send your child with the following items:

• A labeled snack for before lunch  (daily)
• Lunch (unless your child is receiving school lunch)
• A labeled water bottle 
• A change of clothing that will remain in his/her cubby
• A sweater or sweatshirt in case the air conditioning is too chilly

We are responsible for the dismissal of your children and will be maintaining the bus and dismissal list. Please send all communication regarding dismissal, bus and pick-up, directly to aturchinsky@hannahsenesh.org, ielmkies@hannahsenesh.org, and jspiegel@hannahsenesh.org the day before. For last-minute and urgent changes, please send communication by 12:00 pm each day.  Teachers will be checking email at this time and creating the day’s final dismissal list. We appreciate your mindfulness in letting us know any dismissal changes as early as possible. 

Also, please note that the first graders have PE on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Sneakers must be worn during PE class. We will have our first PE class on the first day of school.

If you have any questions please email us. We are looking forward to having you in our first grade community.

Enjoy the rest of your summer. See you on September 3rd!
