Welcome to 1st Grade!
Click on the section drop-downs for more general first grade information
Our goal for the school year is to create classroom environments where students will always feel welcome, safe, and, most importantly, excited to learn!
Please take some time to browse our First Grade website. Each tab at the top has a drop down linking to more information. We work hard to have important resources and routines posted so you can find answers to many of your questions by visiting the website.
First Grade Supply List
Click the image to the left to print a copy of the First Grade Supply List if you did not already purchase a supply kit at the end of the school year. Pre-ordered supply kits will already be at your child's classroom. We appreciate your sending in supplies as soon as possible, with no name labels.
For the school year 2023-2024, California will become the first state to implement a statewide Universal Meals Program for all school children. California's Universal Meals Program is designed to build on the foundations of the federal National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP). The State Meal Mandate includes both a nutritiously adequate breakfast and lunch, free of charge, for all children each school day.
How we take lunch orders
This year, we will not have parents email lunch orders. Instead, all first grade teachers, when taking morning attendance, will ask students if they are getting hot lunch. Students need to let the teacher know at that time if they are getting hot lunch. It would be helpful if you could remind your child on days that they are getting hot lunch to let the teacher know when attendance is taken.
Teacher's will not always be able to check what the day's lunch choices are, so please make sure your child knows what is for lunch if they are choosing hot lunch, as well as if they are choosing the special meal choice (if any) that may be offered that day as we need to list names so the correct number of special meals are prepared. You may click on the image above to access the LVUSD Child Nutrition Service's lunch menu page.
**Please note that on occasion, the menu offerings may change.
This is out of our control and we are often notified very last minute.**
Carpool Line Reminders
First Grade teachers will accompany students out to the carpool line for the first couple weeks of school while they learn the routine and rules. It is very important that you are on time to pick up your students so they do not have to wait longer than necessary. After the first few weeks, students will be escorted out at the end of the day, but only the staff member on carpool duty will be out at carpool line. Please help follow the carpool rules so everyone can be picked up safely and quickly. Thank you!
Please do not wait at the classroom for your student or crowd the hallway as students exit. The front of the school is far more spacious and it will help kids get to their families quicker.
Carpool Line Reminder: Please help do your part and pull all the way forward in both morning and afternoon carpool line before having your child leave or enter your car. If cars ahead of you are about to move, please wait and pull forward to help the line move along. Often times in the morning, staff is unable to park due to parents either not pulling forward or just parking at the curb. IT IS NOT SAFE TO LET KIDS EXIT OR ENTER THE CAR WHILE AWAY FROM THE CURB. This is for the safety of everyone at school that we ask that you follow these carpool rules. Thank you for your support in following BL rules.
