Welcome
I have created a Google Classroom page for you to join. You must join using your student school account. Accounts are as follows: First initial last name@stpatrickssi.org. For example jsmith@stpatrickssi.org
Our class code is kbhtjnw. The link to join is below. https://classroom.google.com/c/NjgxMzA3MDIwMTk4?cjc=kbhtjnw
Please join at your earliest convenience. I will be posting notes, worksheets, and helpful information here throughout the year. If you have any difficulty joining, you can email me or reach out to the office at ldarretta@stpatrickssi.org
I have decided to make things easier for everyone and to keep the supply list Ms. Todd had sent home in June. There is ONE CHANGE to the list. I will be using THREE notebooks instead of the two that she requested. The link to purchase these books is below. These are not needed the first day so no worries. Please send the three books in to be labeled as soon as you have them.
The following is the supply list for this year:
4 folders
3 marble notebooks
Sharpened pencils each day
glue stick
safety scissors
1 pack of construction paper
box of tissues
box of baby wipes
paper towel
antibacterial wipes
24 crayons
soft pencil case
clear contact for covering workbooks at home
Use the amazon link below to order the notebooks. It is important because of the lines.
Send in a durable soft pencil case. It fits best in the desk with everything else!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F38YWM/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_i_e9urFbXMMG7NV
Here is a link for a lined notebook from Amazon.
We will be having a snack daily. Please also send your child to school with an extra water for the day. On the first day, students should be sure to have a snack, drink, pencil, scissor, glue, and crayons!
If you have the tissues, wipes, paper towels, and construction paper for the first day, I will gladly collect these supplies. These may be sent in at any time (preferably the first full week).
I look forward to meeting you all and to a wonderful and productive year ahead! I can always be reached at jlavas@stpatrickssi.org or with a note in your child's "Home Folder".
If there is a change in dismissal or something important that we need to know, please send a note in your child's Message Folder or call the office. I cannot guarantee that I will see an email, especially after our day has started.
Arrival is at 7:40 each morning. Students will be marked late after 8:00. Please try your best to be on time. I will walk the first grade students to the front door at 2:20. Please be patient as I learn everyone's faces at dismissal time.
