Welcome to first grade! I am blessed to have your child as part of our “1B family” this year. You are the most influential people in your child’s life so I believe that it is necessary for us to work together this year in order to achieve the goal of providing the best learning environment and success for your child as possible.  Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.  What a magnificent year lies ahead!
