Welcome to our First grade class page! I am so happy you found our class website. My name is Mrs. Kirtley and I'm excited to be a part of Perdew's First Grade Team. I absolutely love teaching and getting to know each and every one of my students. More importantly, I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year. First grade is a fun and exciting year. I can't wait to see your child grow as a reader, writer, mathematician and critical thinker. Every day will bring challenges with many new experiences and some fun along the way.
Mrs. Lisa Kirtley
Announcements
1st graders often have a hard time understanding lunch choices! Please be sure to talk to your child about whether they are having HOT LUNCH or LUNCH FROM HOME each day.
Also, it might be helpful to pack their snack separately and label it "SNACK" so that they don't accidentally eat it during lunchtime (snack time is in the afternoon at 12:55).
Please make sure your child knows where they will be picked up after school. They will either go to child care, the back gate (behind the school), or to the first grade gate (located at the side parking lot).

The Etiwanda app has been improved to include a new platform for home-to-school communication. The new feature, Rooms, provides an option for class announcements and two-way parent-teacher chat. Families will be able to toggle between teachers or toggle between children, all in one app.
To access Rooms, families will need to download the Etiwanda app. Once the Etiwanda app is on your mobile phone, watch for an email on August 7 after 4:00 p.m. with a link to activate the Rooms account. You will be prompted to create a password when clicking the link. Once the setup process is complete, Rooms will be synced with your child’s teacher and ready to receive or send communication. If you miss the email on August 7, reminders will be sent on August 10 and 15.
To download the Etiwanda app, visit the App Store or Google Play Store. Rooms is also available on a desktop or laptop through eduRooms.com.
The Etiwanda app can be your hub for everything Etiwanda, in addition to Rooms. Click on the Menu button for access to:
Access to Aeries Parent Portal for grades
Links to Breakfast and Lunch menus and EZ School Pay
Access to Child Care information
Live feed on district and school announcements
Links to Forms and Documents, including the 2023-24 calendar, medication forms, and more.
