Welcome to our 2nd grade class for the 2025-2026 school year!
This is the first of our weekly newsletters. I am looking forward to meeting your child and getting to know more about them during the first week of school! We will be completing activities where each student learns about the other students and their teacher as we begin to form our classroom community. We will also be completing a couple of beginning of the year small online assessments in both math and reading. Finally, we will begin to learn about the roles of scientists and the role each of us have within our community!
Hi! I am Ms. Ruth Jugis. I am new to Gateway this year! I am looking forward to having a fabulous year in 2nd grade! I have recently relocated with my Goldendoodle, Winnie, from North Carolina to the area. This will be my 34th year as an elementary teacher! Second grade has always been one of my favorite grades to teach! I am orginally from the state that has the pelican as its state bird and loves its purple/gold college tiger football team. Can you guess which state that is?
