Happy First Day of School!
We had such a wonderful start to first grade today!
Your child is bringing home their red folder and planner. Please remember:
Sign your child’s planner each night (Monday–Thursday).
Empty the left side of the folder (keep those papers at home).
Check the right side of the folder for papers that need to be returned to school ASAP.
The Icebreaker Bag and All About Me Sheet can be sent back by Friday.
Tonight is also a perfect time to review our school expectations together:
✔ Listening to teachers
✔ Using school-appropriate behavior
✔ Treating everyone with kindness
We’re off to a fantastic year already!

WELCOME BACK!
We hope you are enjoying the last few days of summer. We look forward to meeting all of the children on September 2! Listed below are some important things for the first day. However, most of what is highlighted below is also located in the tabs to the left. Please be sure to read through all of those as well.
September 2nd is a half day which means we have a 12:30 dismissal. Please send in a note on the first day of school letting us know how your child will be going home that day. Feel free to include the weekly schedule as well. If your child is a bus rider, please attach a copy of their bus pass to the inside cover of the RED folder. If your child's schedule will change weekly, please send in a note on Mondays (if possible) with their schedule and if anyone other than their parent or guardian will be picking up.
We will eat lunch at 9:30 on the first day since it's a half day. Please send in a lunch/large snack. The cafeteria is closed on half days and the children cannot buy snacks or drinks. If your child has an allergy please send a note on the first day. We will need to know if your child does or does not need the Nut Free table or any other accommodations. You may also email me anytime before school begins!
The RED folder will be the TAKE-HOME folder and will hold all classwork and school correspondence as well as any notes that you send in to us. Please be sure to write your child's name/attach name label to the outside cover.
If you bought your own supplies, please send in everything on the first day so we can get organized. Each child has a cubby to keep their extra items until they are needed. Please send everything in a bag that has your child's first and last name written clearly. If you ordered supplies they will be delivered to school and we will organize them. Thank you!

Welcome to 1C!
My name is Ms. Gioia and I am somewhat new to the Saint Leo family. Even though this is my first year teaching here, I grew up at Saint Leo's from Pre-K through 8th grade! I am so excited for this school year!
As the beginning of the school year approaches, please review the 'First Day of School' tab to gain information about our first day on September 2nd. More information to come soon!
