General Classroom Procedures


1. Contacting The Teacher 

Throughout the school year, I will contact you by phone, e-mail, or notes sent home in your child’s Homework Folder. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at the school by email . If you would like to schedule a meeting time, I would appreciate a note an email so we can arrange a convenient time for both of us. Having a scheduled meeting will allow me to give you my undivided attention.  

Thank you for your understanding!


2. Homework

We will discuss homework in further detail at Back to School Night. Until then, there will be small assignments to get the students into homework routines. It is your child’s responsibility to do homework at home and remember to bring it back to school the next day. With that being said, please give friendly reminders during the beginning of the year until your child has gotten into a routine.


3. Snack

Since second grade eats lunch at 12:06 pm, we will have a morning snack every day. Please send in a snack that is quick and easy to open, nutritious, and filling. Students are allowed to bring water bottles, if they choose to. Just for your information, we do have a water fountain in the hallway that the students have access to. Preferred snacks include things like fruit, pretzels, granola bars, a box of raisins, Goldfish, etc. Items to try and avoid for snack time are yogurt, applesauce, pudding, etc. These items are ok to send in for lunchtime, but are too messy and time consuming for snack time. The snack should be separate from your child’s lunch, so that it can easily be stored in their backpack. Thank you for your cooperation! 

Birthdays

Birthdays are exciting days for second graders. In 2V we recognize birthdays in special ways. Beechwood School School has a no food or share policy. This means no special snacks, treats, or non edible items can be sent in to share with classmates. On your child’s birthday in 2V he/she will be honored in several ways.
Parents are welcome to come to school and 

Summer birthdays will be assigned days throughout the year or will be celebrated on half birthdays (your choice) to share books and get the birthday treatment in class! 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
