First day of School!

Welcome to First Grade!

Tips for a successful year…

·      Arrive on time: Students need to be seated and ready to learn by 7:45 am (the classroom opens at 7:35 am). Students who arrive after 7:45 are marked “tardy”.

·      Getting home: If your child will be going home a different way, or if someone else is picking up your child, please make sure you inform me of these changes. For safety reasons, I do not want to release your child to an unauthorized person. For your child’s safety, please email me or call the office to report any last minute transportation changes.

·      Communication: The “Take Home” folder is one of our main links of communication. I am also available by email (erin_caballero@roundrockisd.org) and phone (512-464-5539). If you have an emergency that cannot wait until the end of the day, please directly call the office and the office staff will deliver the message to our classroom.

·      Snack: Our snack time is very brief, so please send a small, healthy snack daily with your child.

·      Personal belongings: Please be sure to write your child’s name or initials, with a permanent marker, on their jackets, backpacks, and lunchboxes.

·      Birthdays: Birthdays are celebrated the last 15 minutes of the day. You may bring a small, individual treat to pass out to the children. Please let me know in advance, so I can change our schedule that day.

·      Daily Folders: Please send your child to school each day with a backpack and their “Take Home” folder. This is our main link between home and school, so please check it daily.

·      Visiting: If you are visiting our classroom between the hours of 7:45 am and 2:45 pm, you must sign in with the front office and wear a visitor’s badge. I am available to talk or conference with you during my conference period (10:50-11:40) or afterschool.

·      Volunteering: Classroom volunteer opportunities will begin after our Parent Orientation/Curriculum Night.

I look forward to a wonderful year with you and your child!

YAY, First grade!!
