Welcome to Second Grade

WELCOME TO GRADE TWO!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to both you and your child to what I am sure will be and exciting year at Fausey School! To help keep you informed of our classroom specials, the schedule is as follows:

Monday-Library

Tuesday-Computer & Music

Wednesday-Physical Education

Thursday- Physical Education

Friday- Art

Agenda

The Agenda is a very important part of our morning. Every day the children come into the room and copy a message off the board. The message usually has something to do with what we have going on in the room that day. The Agenda also serves as a communication log. If I have something to tell you, I will write it in the Agenda. Therefore it is important that you check and initial your child’s Agenda every day. If there is something that you have a question on or something you want to tell me, please write it in the Agenda. It is the first thing I look for in the morning!!

Communication Folders

Every child was given a Teacher/Parent Communicator folder. These blue folders will be sent home daily with the Agendas. Please remove all papers at the end of each day and talk about them with you child. Look for important notices from school. The folders are labeled Keep at home and Return to school. Anything that has to be returned to school can be placed in the Return to School side and I will be sure to get it.

Lunch Money

All breakfast and lunch money will be collected on Mondays. Please place money inside an envelope with your child’s name and Room 13 on it. The cafeteria staff handles all money. Parents are encouraged to pay online through PaySchools Central .

Breakfast

Breakfast is optional and is at 8:05. The cost is $1.00.

Snack

Please bring in a healthy snack for your child every day. We do have many children with peanut allergies so please avoid peanut products. Milk is not provided so feel free to bring in a drink. (No soda or candy please!)

Lunch

Your child will have a choice of the school hot lunch every day. If they choose not to order the hot lunch they can pick from a salad, or a meat sandwich. Lunch is $2.75. If you want just milk it is $ .40.

Birthdays

We will no longer be celebrating birthdays in the classroom with baked treats due to the number of allergies and the district’s Wellness Policy. (Sorry!!) ~ I do have a special shirt they get to wear on their special day! (Consider other options like a class game for recess) At the end of each month there will be a celebration in the cafeteria during lunch with the principal. Please do not send birthday invitations to school. Since most parties are for limited numbers of children, we do not want to have any child feel left out.

Dismissal

If at anytime your child will be going home in a different way please write me a note in the Agenda. If I do not receive a note then your child will be sent home in the usual manner.

Please do not hesitate to contact me any time if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child. You can reach me at school

263-3314 or e-mail me at Lsvec@wsps.org

Again, welcome back!

Sincerely,

Laurie Svec
