Welcome to First Grade! I hope you and your family had a fabulous summer and are excited to start the new school year. This is our classroom blog. Take some time to explore our blog before school starts. Parents also check out the homework, FAQ, and school wide food policy tabs for your information.

We will be using the app, Bloomz this year to communicate securely. All members have to be approved by me to access our page. Only approved members will be able to see our class pictures and news.

I’m really excited to tell you our class will be using an app called Bloomz to simplify how we communicate with you and keep you in the know of what your child is doing while under our care. Get ready to see:

· Weekly updates on what your child is doing and learning

Photos from the day or specific activities with a 1 click download option on your desktop

· Invitation requests to events/field trips

· Volunteer requests and ability to sign up right in the app

· Parent Teacher Conference signups

· And more…

Bloomz even has a messaging feature so you can instantly message me.

Imagine having access to all these in one place, right on your mobile devices or on the web!

Please log on to Bloomz.com or download the Bloomz app on your android or iPhone. Our access code is MSXKKJ.

One great feature about Bloomz is all members have to be approved my me. Only approved members will be able to see our class pictures and news.

Let’s connect on Bloomz!
