Welcome to Our Lady of Mercy School and the first grade. It was so nice to see so many of you at Back To School Night. I know I gave out a lot of information that evening, and it may have overwhelmed you, but trust me, it will all fall into place.
Please make sure your child has all of their supplies by the end of the first week. The planner is most important and your child should have it the first day. Another note will go home to remind you what they need.
The first school bell rings at 7:50 and school begins at 8:00. The all-school Mass begins at 8:30. Because we are having Mass, all girls are to be in jumpers and the boys in long blue cords. You are more than welcome to bring your child into the classroom and help them find their desk and get their things put away.
Your child may bring a snack for themselves. We have recess at 10:00 and that is the time they will eat it.
Dismissal is at 12:30. Make sure your child knows where they are being picked up. You are more than welcome to come to my door to pick them up.
I know this is soon, but vocabulary words will be going home this week. Most of these words should be familiar as many of these were introduced last year while they were in kindergarten. It is most important that your child review these words every night.

Please check the planner every night for homework or general information. Make sure you sign it and return it the next day. I will be giving you a week to get into the swing of things. Thank you for all of your cooperation. I am looking forward to seeing you all.
GOD LOVES YOU!
