💐MAY IMPORTANT DATES

Monday, 5/25 - Memorial Day (NO SCHOOL)

Wednesday, 5/27 - Field Day!! (Our class wears gray/white)

Friday, 5/29 - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!  Dismissal at 12:30




Please let me know when a birthday treat is being sent in. We have asked that the birthday snacks be prepackaged and the same item for easy pass-out and cleanup.  (Popsicles are fine with Philly Swirl being a good brand. They are allergy-free)  Any treat not prepackaged will be returned. I thank you for understanding, as this takes a lot of class time, in a day that is busy. When food is sent in that creates messy situations, time has to be taken to wash hands to eat, then wash hands/desk to remove food residue. (not to mention the time it takes for students to make up their minds when varieties are sent .

There are 24 students in our class and 24 in Mrs. Moore's class (if you want to include both classes)



👉UNIFORM REMINDERS:  Please visit the following link and click on "Pre-K through 5th Grade" to view our school's uniform policy: https://stfrancismorgantown.com/students-parents/uniform-code/  One change that was made late this summer is that girls are now permitted to wear a red or black polo dress with the SF logo on it.  Friendly reminders: shoes must be all black (including the soles - no slides or boots); hair accessories must be white, black, or red; belts must be worn with belt loops; permitted jewelry - a religious medal or bracelet (no colorful beads) and small post earrings.  Thank you for ensuring your child is dressed appropriately for school each day!


📗GREEN FOLDERS & ASSIGNMENT BOOKS:  Students will be responsible for taking home and bringing back to school their green folders and assignments books each day.  The folder pockets will be labeled "Take Out/  and "Return to School."  Items in the "Keep at Home" side should be removed each day, while the items in the "Return to School" side should be sent back to school the next day (unless noted otherwise).  We spend time in class copying down our daily homework assignments.   We ask that parents initial their children's assignment books in the evening once homework has been completed and checked.  We will speak more about homework during our Curriculum Night!

  

🍇DAILY SNACKS:  Students will enjoy a mid-morning snack each day.  We ask that healthy, easy-to-eat non non-messy options be brought in so that we can continue to work while we snack. While fruit is a healthy snack, please have apples sliced and placed in a bag, as this lessens juice drips. Students may also bring water bottles each day.  The water bottle must be spill-proof with a snap-closed lid (no straws permitted) and needs to be labeled with your child's name.  We always appreciate it when parents send in simple packs of extra snacks for students who may forget to bring one.  Thank you!



🗣️REMIND APP:  In second grade, we utilize the REMIND APP as one of means of communication throughout the week.  Please click the following link to join our class at your earliest convenience:  https://www.remind.

/join/ckb7b3  PLEASE BE SURE TO SIGN UP WITH YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER.  This will ensure that all families stay current with class reminders and announcements.  Thank you!


📚LIBRARY: Our class will visit the library each Wednesday at 11:35-12:05. Parents are welcome to "Read Aloud" to our students at the beginning of the class, while the second part will be used for finding and checking out books. Books that are checked out must be returned the following Wednesday. This applies to books that your child may want to renew for another week.   If you are interested in reading to your child's class, please click on the following link. Thanks for helping our children develop a love for reading. 🥳
