Dearest 2nd Grade Parents and Guardians,
Last week was such a great start getting to know the kids and having them transition into their new classroom! I’m having such a wonderful time getting to know them and seeing them excited to come to school!
Tomorrow begins our 2nd week of school! Please note that it will be a full week where they will come in full uniform and be dismissed at 3:00pm. Some reminders are:
1. Attendance: Have your child come on time so they are ready to line up before assembly begins. Students who come after 7:50am will be marked tardy. Excessive tardies will affect their work habits grade and therefore, Citizenship.
2. PE: PE begins this week. 2nd grade will have PE every Thursday from 11am-12pm. Please remember to have your child come dressed in PE clothes this Thursday
3. Lunch: Remember to pack lunch or turn in your child’s monthly menu with a check. It would be a great help for me if you can drop off your child’s monthly menu along with the check in the front office before school begins. I do not have an aide in the morning to help me handle these menus that come in so I prefer that you bring them directly to the front office. Thanks so much!
4. Testing: Testing for STAR and foundational skills will be administered starting Tuesday of this week and may continue throughout next week as well. Please make sure your child gets a good night rest and healthy breakfast to be prepared for testing!
5. Homework: Homework this week will be light as I and the students will still be going over procedures, routines, and basic review of concepts until we get approved to receive books next week. They will be going home with their Red Homework Folders that I have prepared with our Weekly Newsletter and HW assignments. Please initial next to their assignments as they complete them each day. In addition, although I expect students to do daily HW, all HW will be due Friday. One important note is that I will be sending home a Student Information Form that is important for you as a parent to fill out and return by Friday! There is time sensitive information that I will need before Labor Day weekend! I really appreciate your cooperation!
6. Holy Communion Mass: Last but not least, I want to update you on our First Holy Communion Mass for those of you who’s child will be receiving the Sacraments this year. Our First Holy Communion Mass is officially Saturday, March 30th at 5:30pm. More details will be given to you at our Parent Retreat Meeting regarding the Sacraments in October. Please stay tuned for updates on the meeting.
Thank you for your patience with the start of this new year! We’re off to a great start and I want us to always work together to make it a wonderful year! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Love and prayers,
Sr. Tina
