September 1st, 2010

HELLO AND WELCOME TO GRADE ONE AND TWO!

I am very excited about beginning the school year at St. Jude's Academy, and I look forward to meeting our class and their families in just a few short days.
As summer begins to come to a close I wanted to post a few reminders for students and their families to help make the transition back to school a great success.

  • There is a supply list available to help direct you with what items are needed for your child this school year.  This list can be found again at the end of this message.
  • In addition to this online blog, an agenda will also be going home with your child everyday with important information about school activities.  This agenda is a great way for us to communicate together, as information will be sent home every night and it will be signed by a parent and brought back with the child every morning.
Our class has a full year of reading, writing, mathematics, history and science fun ahead of us.  I am very excited to begin the school year with your child.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
