Welcome to 2A!

 My name is Mrs Kelly Sikkel and I am very excited to be teaching grade two! This website is updated occasionally.

I am looking forward to making this year a fun and interesting learning experience for everyone in our class. Our class has decided that we want our space to be calm, fun, safe and friendly, so I encourage everyone to treat each other with respect and care. Based on these ideas from all the students, we have now come up with some class promises that we strive to keep everyday to keep everyone happy, healthy, and ready to learn.

Drop Off / Pick Up

We want to ensure good neighbour relations with the homes and businesses around the school. Please:

Do not come earlier than your drop off/pick up times.  

Do not  double park along Trent Street.  

Do not  park early outside the school gate and leave your car.

INFORMATION FOR ARRIVAL

Students will continue to arrive at 8:20 onwards and wait on the primary playground. When the 8:40 bell rings, 2A students are to come into the school.  I will meet them at the door.

INFORMATION FOR DISMISSAL

Once dismissed, students will go to their pick-up location at the drive-through.  Students who are walking or biking are reminded to leave the school property right away. 

All nuts or products containing nuts are not permitted in our class due to severe allergies in the class next door.  Thank you for your understanding and for respecting the rules in order to protect members of our community.

Garbage - Free Classroom: We encourage a litter-free lunchbox.  All packaging will be sent home in your child's lunch kit. You are asked to do your best to pack lunches in re-usable containers. Thank you for your co-operation with this environmental initiative. 

Happy Birthday: We will celebrate your child’s birthday in the classroom with a birthday song and a birthday book. If your child has a birthday in the summer, we will celebrate it before the end of the school year. Our school has a healthy foods initiative so sugary treats are not permitted. If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday with the class, you are welcome to donate a book, a board game, or a ball to the classroom. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Uniform Notes: For reasons of health and cleanliness, please tie back long hair (girls and boys). Lice is a common problem in schools and having hair tied up is a great way of preventing the lice from spreading.  According to our uniform policy, hair accessories must be plain, solid white, black or navy. 

Nail polish is not permitted at school.  Watches, plain studs or sleeper earrings are the only items of jewellery to be worn.
