Primary Division Notes

Dear Primary Division Parents,

Happy Mid-Summer!

You should have received an email this past week containing your student’s placement and orientation times. If you have any questions about this, or did not receive the email, please contact our Division Office at 405-749-3148 or dillierk@casady.org

We hope you are having a wonderful summer and are as excited as we are about the start of a fantastic school year!

Casady Primary Division School Bags
Our school bags are provided to you each year at no cost. We ask that all students use these bags instead of other types of backpacks, etc.

If you would like to have your student's name embroidered on their school bag for the cost of $15, please submit this form by Friday, July 18, to have it ready to be picked up at orientation. The embroidery is optional. All charges will be added to your student's book bill. Bags not embroidered will have the student's name written by their teacher. All Primary students will receive one school bag at the beginning of the year.

Bag information
  • The bag is considered part of the school uniform. Please keep them free of patches, decorations, key chains, etc. They are a distraction to students.
  • Bags are spot clean/hand-wash recommended. Machine wash can lead to shrinking and fading.
  • Replacement or extra bags can be purchased through Casady Cupboard.

Lunch Boxes
Students may choose their own lunch boxes. Here are a few things to know about school lunches. We will be able to answer more detailed questions at orientation.
  • We cannot refrigerate or heat items packed in lunch boxes.
  • We want our students to be able to manage their containers independently. It’s a good idea to purchase the containers this summer. Serve your student some meals in them and have your student practice opening and closing the containers and lunch box on their own. Some can be tricky and require strong hands! This is great for developing those fine motor skills. Of course, we will help, but as with all things in Primary, our goal is independence.
  • We ask each student to bring a placemat from home to keep their food on while we eat. The ideal size is smaller than 12”x18” to accommodate all students at the table. Cloth napkins work great for this purpose.
  • We are a “nut aware” campus. We ask that you do not send any nut products to School. Accidents do happen, so if you forget, we will contain any nut products and send them home. We may request that you label other allergens depending on your student’s peers’ needs. We will give you more information on this at orientation.
