Welcome Packet for Parents

I was editing my Welcome Packet/First Grade Handbook for Parents and thought I would share.  I would have appreciated something like this in my earlier years of teaching!  Of course, if I didn't have this by now, I would have appreciated it just as much in the middle of my career.  : )  Feel free to download and change what you need to make it more personal for yourself and your class.  I left it in Word format so you are able to edit it as you see fit.  Enjoy!

**I have been hearing (at various different times) the document below isn't showing up...Google Docs drives me CrAzY!  If you can't see anything below, trying clicking HERE.**
If that doesn't work, email me and I will get it to you.  (I'm away on vacation minus Internet until August 2nd, so please be patient.)

    God bless you! I wish I'd had something similar my first year...I was hired on Thursday afternoon @ 2:30. School started Friday morning, and Open House was at 7:00 p.m. the same Thursday I was hired!! I thought I'd die those first two months!

    Jamie, I will never my very first year when a teacher at a different grade level took me under her wing and handed me her parent packet. I had no idea what should go in the packet, but thanks to her I looked much more "with it" than I was. Now you have done the same for so many teachers. Good for you!
