Welcome to First Grade!! We are looking forward to a fantastic year. We can't wait to get started!
Please make sure your child is here on time each morning. They will be marked tardy if they arrive after 7:50. All children should be in their classrooms and be ready to start their day BEFORE the 7:50 tardy bell.
We have snack time each morning. Every child needs to bring a snack on a daily basis. Water bottles are encouraged. No colored drinks or juices are allowed. More water means more brain power! Please send in NUTRITIOUS snacks such as: pretzels, peanut butter crackers, sandwiches, granola bars, veggies, fruit, popcorn, etc. Please... no sweets. We usually have a few children that forget their snacks..... so an extra bag of pretzels, graham crackers, animal crackers, etc., is always greatly appreciated!!
Our specials schedule will include: PE, Music, Art, Computer and Spanish. The time will be from 10:10-10:50. Your child is REQUIRED to wear tennis shoes on every PE day for safety reasons. PE will be every other day. Look for the special's schedule each month.
LUNCH is from 12:38-1:08. Lunch money should be paid in the cafeteria in the mornings. There are green envelopes for lunch money. We encourage payments by the week or month. Paypal is an excellent way to pay from home. Go to the Cobb County School District Website and click on the Paypal link. Lunch is $1.60 per day and extra milk is 50 cents. Lunches brought in from fast food restaurants are not permitted.
If your child is having a birthday and you choose to send in a special treat, please notify your teacher in writing first, then send in the treat on the morning of the date chosen. We will enjoy the treat later in the day. Or.... If you want to eat lunch for your child's birthday, you may bring a treat to the cafeteria and distribute to the class after they eat.
I am always willing to schedule a conference to discuss any concerns. In the mornings and afternoons I am very busy preparing for your child's instructional day. Please send a note in your child's folder and I will respond to you as quickly as possible. Contacting me through email is the fastest way for a response. My email address is: simone.taylor@cobbk12.org
All transportation changes MUST be in writing in your child's folder unless you contact the office directly with a message. No transportation changes will be accepted after 1:30.
I am looking forward to an exciting year!!!!
