Welcome Letter and Supply List                                                                          

 

Dear Students and Parents,

          It may be summer, but the fourth-grade teachers are planning for the upcoming school year. We are preparing lessons and getting ready to meet our new group of fourth-graders.  Fourth grade is a year of adventures and challenges. You are going to learn more than you can imagine. Best of all, you are going to meet a lot of great friends.

          You are probably wondering what you need for school. We have compiled a list of necessary supplies listed below. Please bring them in the first week of school. Along with your new school supplies, you’ll need a snack to enjoy between breakfast and lunch. Water is the only permitted beverage during snack time. 

          We are looking forward to seeing you. It’s going to be a great school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation. 

 

Sincerely,

The Fourth Grade Teachers
