Welcome Back

Welcome Back! 

I am so excited to welcome all the new Grade 1's at Royal Oak School. This year we are going to have lots of amazing experiences together in room 53!

Here is a few things you will need to know about our day: 

1) Indoor Shoes: Each student will need a pair of indoor shoes and a pair of outdoor shoes each day. Students will keep their indoor shoes at school each evening. Please label them in case they are misplaced in the classroom. 

 2) Snack/Lunch: For snack and lunch there is no microwaves available. Please pack your child's snack and lunch separately in different containers or compartments so it is easy for your child to know when they should be eating each part. At times students will bring their snack with them outdoors, and a portable snack is often helpful for students. Due to allergies in our spaces, ALL Grade 1 classes will be nut free. 

 3) Communication Folder: A blue coloured folder will be coming home in your child's backpack. This is their communication folder and we will use it each day to send home notices and important information. If you need to send a note to the teacher it can also come in this folder. We will check them each day. Please ensure your child brings their folder to school everyday. 

4) Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer but have not yet completed your security clearance you will need to fill out paperwork at the front office and obtain clearance before we are able to schedule you a time to come in. 

5) Dressing for the weather: Students in grade one will be going outside throughout the day for recess, lunch, and possibly physical education. Students are encouraged to dress for the weather so that they feel comfortable outside during these times. 

6) Birthday Invitations: If you have birthday invitations to hand out please send them to school in your childs communication folder. We will discreetly make sure each child receives their invitation to avoid any hurt feelings.
