Grade Level News

Welcome to 4th grade

Hello parents and families, 

We are so excited for your child to join us in fourth grade! We can’t wait to begin a fun year of learning together. We will be following the school’s safety plan in order to ensure a safe learning environment for every student. Here are a few things to be aware of for the first day of school:

• Fourth grade students who wish to have breakfast at school will enter through the south door in the back by the playground between 7:40-7:45. This door can be accessed from the entrance on 22nd St. If students arrive after 7:45, they need to go to the front of the building. Students will exit at the end of the day through these doors.

• Please see the supply list for a list of suggested materials.

All fourth grade teachers will be using Seesaw for communication. Your child’s teacher will share this information at your back-to-school meeting. 

If you have any questions or concerns going into the school year, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher using the contact information below:
