Welcome to 2nd grade! We are excited to have your child join us this year. We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and fun. Together, we will support your child's educational journey and help them reach their full potential. Thank you for your partnership and support as we work together to make this a fantastic year for your child.

Please fill out a background check.  You must fill out a new one every year.  It can take up to 2 weeks to process, so don't wait!  

During the first couple weeks, we will focus on setting clear expectations and understanding classroom rules. Establishing these guidelines early helps create a positive and structured learning environment where every student can thrive. We will spend time discussing and practicing these expectations to ensure that all students feel confident and ready to learn. Your support in reinforcing these rules at home is greatly appreciated. Together, we can make this a fantastic year for your child.

We will, however, begin our curriculum this week as we continue focusing on procedures and expectations. Below you will find out what we will be focusing on during the first units of the school year!
