Back to School Freebie For A Safe and Organized First Day

The week or so before school starts, our school sends a letter home welcoming students back to school, giving room assignments, final supply lists, and a letter from the teacher.  Sadly, many of our parents do not use this information to prepare their kids for the first day.  So, I take this opportunity to include a little something extra - the first day of school name and info tag.

The parents fill out a bit of information on the back and pin it to their child's shirt on the first day of school.  Most of our children arrive on a bus or are dropped off at the front door and have no idea who their teacher is, how they're getting home, or whether they have lunch money.

Since I have been sending these name and info tags home, 99% of my students have come to school with them on!  (Probably because I include the pins!)  When they enter my room, I know how they came to to school, how they're getting home, whether they have lunch money, emergency numbers, etc.  It is so nice to have a little info until I can get accurate paperwork returned!

If you would like an editable copy, click HERE.  I just print them front to back on cardstock, cut them into four cards, punch a hole, and add a safety pin.  If you download a copy, remember that it is editable and the fonts reverted to a common font on Google docs.  Once you download it, give it whatever font you want and add in the info for your school and classroom.
