Welcome!

Welcome New 1st Grade Families!

It was wonderful meeting many new families at our Ice Cream Social last week.  This blog will be utilized throughout the year for communication and keeping families aware of what is happening within the classroom.  By submitting your email in the box on the right hand side of this page you will receive an email notification each time there is a new post.  I'm looking forward to a great 2016-2017 school year!

A few reminders for the first week of school - 

Snack: We have a snack break around 11:00 each morning.  Please send your child with a small snack each day whether they are packing or buying lunch.  


Lunch: You may access the QE lunch menu here.  If your child will be buying lunch from the cafeteria you may pay online using a debit/credit card or sending in cash/check.  

1. Use this link to pay online.

2. If you prefer to send your child with money please send cash/check in a sealed envelope with your child's first and last name and student ID number.  

Please help your child familiarize themselves with their student ID number which will be used to access their account for lunch.  We will practice walking through the lunch line and typing in account numbers on the first day of school.  I also have a card made for each child with their student ID number on it that they may use until it is memorized. 


Specials: We end each day with specials from 3:00-3:45.  We rotate through specials on a 6-day cycle.  Each month I will place a calendar that depicts what special we have each day in your child's Take-Home Folder.  For your reference, below is our special schedule for the first week:

  • Monday - Gym
  • Tuesday - Art
  • Wednesday - Spanish
  • Thursday - Computers
  • Friday - Music


Dismissal:  Dismissal is at 3:50.  Students will be exiting through the playground door.

I'm looking forward to meeting my new first grade friends bright and early tomorrow morning!  If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me.  You can reach me at kriley@qcsd.org.
