2nd Grade News

Here is a link to some at home learning that you are welcome to do over the summer with your child. It is not required, just there if you need it.

• Kinder: 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM

• 1st Grade: 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

• 2nd grade: 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

• 5th grade: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

• 3rd grade: 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM

• 4th grade: 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Here is a link to the Ninja Nation website where you can see what the activity will look like. You must sign the waiver prior to the party for your child to participate. Otherwise, they will do other smaller activities.

Please practice spelling these words with your child. Spelling tests will be on Fridays (unless we don't have school on a Friday, then it would move to Thursday). Paper lists will go home on Mondays, graded spelling lists will come home in Thursday folders of the following week.

Please make sure you have communicated to your homeroom teacher by email the day before of last minute changes or by phone to the office to ensure your child is picked up in the correct location. Also if your child is a car rider, please make sure to have your car sign up. It really helps speed up the process of getting kiddos to the correct cars. Just a reminder that 2nd grade car riders (without a younger sibling) will be picked up in the back loop. Walkers will dismiss from the back gym door (near the front of the school). Thank you!!
