Miss Monteforte's classroom information for Grade 1 Room 14
I communicate with Cheverus' Families frequently throughout the year about classroom or school happenings. I always keep a line of communication open for parents to reach out to me and vice versa. Please don't ever hesitate to email me with any concern regarding your students schooling. No concern is too small or big. We can work together to support ALL of your student's needs. My email is [email protected]
School Start time is 7:40 late bell 8:00 a.m. Dismissal time is 2:00 pm. Students line-up in the school yard. Please try not to be late to pick-up your student. If there are any changes with start or dismissal times, communicate any changes to your student as well as me so we be on the same page. You can also call the office directly at 781-324-6584 with any changes and they will inform me immediately.
Please follow our uniform policies as best you can. Review uniform dress codes on the tab.
Visitors entering the building are required to ring the bell and go to the office. If you student is going to be late, please go directly to the office for a late slip.
Lunch, breakfast, and snack information:
Breakfast count is taken at 7:45. If your student is getting breakfast, please ensure they are on time.
Snack is in the morning. Please ensure your student has a snack and a small drink nothing over 8oz for easy handling and avoid spillages. If your student brings a water bottle, the bottle must fit into the side pocket of their backpack. No water bottles should be carried into the classroom for easy handling and avoid spillage. Also, I don't always have extra utensils, so please ensure your student has what they need for snack.
Lunch is free, but if your student has a home lunch and wants a milk, the milk charge is $0.50. Please be sure to complete the Lunch Form and submit before the due date.
If you are sending money to school, please place it in an envelope or a package marked with the student's name, amount of money, and reason for money.
During the year, mostly on Fridays, we celebrate NUT Days (no uniform day) and collect $1.00 for local charities. Additionally, during the year, we raise funds for the school with a variety of raffles where students can buy a ticket to win a prize. These are all voluntary.
If your student is wearing sneakers or shoes with shoelaces, for their safety, please ensure the shoes are tied properly with double knots if needed.
Homework is an extension of our daily learning, providing student an opportunity to test their knowledge independently. I assign homework (math and/or reading or both) Monday - Thursday. Students build strong school habits by completing their homework and returning it to school the next day. I also highly recommend nightly reading. Students are sent home with plenty of reading material from the week's lessons to read and develop strong reading skills and healthy reading habits. Students are provided with a home folder to use for homework and school communication. These folders should be return each school day.
Report cards are sent on-line 3x a year December, March, and June. Progress reports are sent home 4x a year also. In first grade we us a letter grading system as follows: S+ Above Satisfactory, S Satisfactory, S- Below Satisfactory, N Needs improvement, U Unsatisfactory (failing).
Monthly school calendars are sent home, but can also be found on this website.
Through-out the year, we offer after school clubs and fun events for students and families to participate in. Notices are sent home. Be sure to complete and return so you don't miss out on the fun.
Thank you for your support and understanding in these matters. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. Best, Miss Monteforte.
