"Getting to Know Your Child"
If you have not returned the questionnaire that was on your child's desk on Meet the Teacher Night please do so as soon as possible.
Headphones
Please send a working set of headphones that can be left at school. Please label them with your child's name.
Cleaning/Purging?
Now that the children are back in school have you found the urge to purge? Are you cleaning out book shelves and cabinets?
Your second grade teachers will happily accept used picture books, early chapter books, puzzles, and games.
Books help us build classroom libraries and keep collections interesting and relevant. Old puzzles and games help us with cooperation, problem solving, creativity, and indoor recess.
Let us help you with your donation piles!
Birthday Celebrations
Birthdays are special. We will celebrate your child's special day with singing in our classroom. You may send in small treats like pencils, erasers, stickers, etc., if you choose. Please refrain from sending in any food item.
