Welcome to another great school year! I'm definitely looking forward to meeting and working with everyone on the path to success for your child in second grade. It's sure to be a fantastic school year.
Through the year, I'll be posting to the class blog with news updates. Occasionally, I may send home notes with the students in their Homework Folders when an urgent note comes up. For the most part, this blog will be great way for me share necessary information: school activities, class activities, lesson units we're working through, class needs, etc.
My hopes is this can be a huge help for you if you have any questions about what we're doing. I also have links to helpful sites, as well as documents of classroom procedures.
I am also available by email through the evening if a situation arises when you may need my immediate attention. I can, at times, email you back fairly quickly. During the school day, I don't check it as often as I do afterwards, however I try to check it periodically through the day. If you need to call, please do so through the school office main phone number. They can get a note to me immediately, or it can be put in my mailbox for me to contact you back at my earliest convenience. Myself and the other teachers have full work days, so please excuse my tardiness in getting back to you if a situation arises here at school which needs my attention. However, I do try my best to contact you by the end of the day.
Information will be available for you at Open House night to go over during the weekend. I will also have some forms for you to fill out. However, these can be taken home and filled out to be returned as soon as possible.
Open House night is Friday, August 3rd, 5:00 - 6:30. I look forward to meeting you and starting the year off to a great start. If not then, the first day of school is Monday the 6th. School starts at 8:00, and ends at 2:15.
Have a great week!
