Dear Parents,
Welcome
to first grade at Oakhaven Elementary. I am looking forward to being
your child’s teacher and getting to know you and your family this year. It
is important that we keep the lines of communication open throughout the school
year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns
that you might have and I will do the same. We will work together to
make your child’s first grade year a terrific one.
First grade is a
year filled with fun and huge leaps in learning. First graders develop
fundamental work habits, appropriate social behavior, problem solving and
decision making skills and of course, academic skills. If you are
interested in specific academic standards for first grade, you are invited to
visit the Memphis City Schools website at www.mcsk12.net.
I will do my best to get
your child home safely each day. If your child is going home a
different way than they usually do, please let me know. We dismiss all
walkers and car riders promptly at 3:15. The bus riders are dismissed first.
If you have any other
questions or concerns, please contact me via the information listed below.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
Shank, 1st Grade Teacher
