Mrs. Melcher's 2nd grade
I am SO excited to be your child's 2nd grade teacher! I am looking forward to working with you to make your child's 2nd grade year successful and positive! My motto has always been Parents+Teachers=Success!!! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you my have regarding our classroom or your child's education. You may contact the school at 524-4821, my cell phone number at (270)832-4234, DoJo messenger, or by e-mail at mmelcher@massac.org.
Reminders:
-Doors will open at 7:45 for breakfast. Breakfast and Lunch will be free to all students.
-Please do not drop your child off before 7:45 as there will be no supervision for him/her.
-Please check your child's folder each night for important papers.
-Please also check your Dojo messages for updates and reminders.
Absentees:
Please try to have your child at school every day and on time. We begin our day promptly at 8:20 and if your child misses or is tardy, he/she will be missing important concepts. If your child is sick and cannot attend school, please call the school office first thing in the morning to notify us of the absence. If your child is absent, make-up work will be sent home when he/she returns and must be completed as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
Pick up Procedure: Please have your pickup number ready in your window. If someone else is picking your child up then they have to have a number also. Also make sure an adult or older sibling is at the bus stop to get your child off. 2nd grade is not allowed to walk or be dropped off alone. Thank you for your help with this matter!
