Pride Night/Pick Up

Hello Parents! 


Just wanted to post a quick note and remind you that Pride Night is tonight at Ridgewood High School. It begins at 7:00 andends at 8:30 P.M.. We hope to see you all there. Everyone in your family is invited!! Please come and enjoy the family fun! :) We also want to let you know that students are to be picked up INSIDE the gate after school. Please discuss a meeting place with your child so they know where to look for you. With about 250 students trying to rush out the front gate it is easier for parents to pick students up inside the gate. We welcome you in. There will be supervisors at the gate and teachers will be at the doors and in the courtyard, but not walking students all the way to the gates. Please talk with your child about where you will bepicking them up. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you tonight!! :) We look forward to a great PRIDE NIGHT!

Welcome Back

Dear First Grade Family,

Welcome back to school!  I hope you are as excited as I am to start a brand new school year.  My name is Miss Nikchevich and I will be your child’s teacher this year.  I am very excited to have your child in my class and am looking forward to getting to know your child and your family.  This is an exciting year for your child.  Your child will make so much growth throughout the course of this year in reading, writing, math, and socially.  With both of our support your child will be sure to succeed! 

This year we will be learning new sight words, making important meaning out of both fiction and nonfiction text, and working on our reading fluency.  In math we will be little mathematicians as we work on adding and subtracting numbers within 20, learning about geometry, and measuring concepts.  We will learn how to be writers and authors.  Students will be writing stories and using rich language to enhance their writing while focusing on one main idea. It is going to be a BUSY year!

Your child is allowed to bring a snack for the morning.  We have a long morning so I do recommend sending them with something healthy to eat. Please stay away from chips and dessert foods.

I am thrilled that the year is beginning and I know we will be off to a great start!  Please let me know if you have any questions or comments along the way.  My email is jnikchevich@norridge80.net.  

Looking forward to a great year!

Ms. Nikchevich
