Dear First Grade Parents

Dear Parents,
It is my pleasure to welcome you and your child to first grade at St. Joseph School!  My name is Stacey Biggins and this will be my ninth year teaching first grade at St. Joseph Catholic School. I could not be more excited to teach this wonderful upcoming first grade class! I also look forward to meeting all of you at first grade's Back to School Parent meeting  scheduled for August 19th, 2020 at 6:00 pm in my classroom. This meeting is for parents only.

As you prepare for first grade, please refer to our classroom’s supply list below. I have also included a list of supplies for art class that your child will need in addition to the supplies needed in the classroom. Please label your child’s supplies with a Sharpie marker or name labels.  It is very helpful to have every marker, crayon, glue stick, etc. labeled as students will manage their own supplies.  It is also helpful if you can send replacement supplies in from time to time, mostly new pencils.

When you send your child to school, please have the art supplies in the art tote already, so they do not get mixed up with the classroom supplies.

1 box of crayons (no higher than 24 count)
5 sharpened pencils
1 large eraser
2 glue sticks
2 2-pocket folders
1 backpack or school bag

Copy books and journals will be provided by the school. Should you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at any time. You can reach me by calling the office at 717-632-0118 or emailing me at sbiggins@sjshanoverpa.org. May God bless you and keep you and your family safe for the remainder of the summer!

With anticipation for a very blessed school year which we will hopefully be doing in person,
