Welcome to a new school year at Steward School! This is such a wonderful time for you and your child. Your first grader will grow tremendously during the course of this school year. My goal is to create a classroom community where children are happy, comfortable, enthusiastic about learning and love waking up to come to school every day!
Happy First Day!
Mrs. Gouzie

*Please provide your child with a healthy snack to eat each day during our mid-morning break before lunch. This year first graders eat lunch at 12:55pm so having a larger snack in the morning is energizing!
· Due to allergies please make sure these snacks are nut free to ensure our classroom is a nut free zone.
· Buying Lunch- Children buying lunch will make their lunch choice in the morning. An account system can be set up through the Steward School Website. J
Bus/Car Rider Notes
Children who attend after-school activities will need a note stating their destination, including Steward Station and car riders unless you send a permanent note stating the days your child will be going to Steward Station or the days your child will be a car rider throughout the entire school year.
A note is also needed if your child is going home with a friend on a different bus, or is getting off at a different bus stop.
The bus notes are read by me and then sent to the main office early in the morning where bus lists/pick up lists are generated and provided for the staff covering afternoon dismissal duties.
Please make your child aware of any dismissal changes which may take place during the school year.
Thank you so much for your cooperation!
I cannot thank you all enough for sending in the wonderful school supplies for this school year. Most importantly, thank you for sending your children to school with happy smiling faces! J
Here’s to the start of a Fantastic
First Grade Year!
