Can I bring in treats for my child's birthday?
No, Simis policy states that treats should not be brought in for birthdays. However, a birthday treat can be ordered for the class through the cafeteria. The form to order a birthday box is attached at the bottom of this page.
Is homework mandatory?
No, homework is not mandatory. Opportunities are given to practice reading and math skills through books, workbooks, and website applications.
Are the spelling tests?
No, there are no spelling tests this year. We will be working on spelling patterns and sight words in class for a more authentic spelling experience.
Can parents come in for Star Student?
In 2nd Grade, we discourage parents from coming in for Star Student. Our daily schedule is extremely tight and most parents are not able to make it at the time scheduled. Keeping Star Student a class celebration eliminates hurt feelings for the students whose parents are not able to attend.
When will my child be Star Student?
There is no specific order that I choose Star Students and they do not align with birthdays. All students will be Star Student one time throughout the year.
