Parent Information Night is coming soon... Join us September 12th at 5pm or 6pm for our first official Open House! We offer 2 sessions for your convenience because we really hope you will make it to one of them! We will go over all the things important to second grade, Aldridge and hopefully answer all the questions you have. Hope to see you there 😄

Please be sure you are packing a snack every day for your Ocelot! We have the last lunch of the day (12:30pm) so they get pretty hungry without a filling snack during our snack time (9:30am). We do not have extra snacks or water bottles to provide at this time. We thank you for setting your Ocelot up for a successful day of learning!

We will dive deep into this during Parent Information Night but wanted to offer some clarification until then. We use blue cards to communicate behavior to parents, all behaviors! In second grade, a blue card signature is used as a way to communicate to parents what their Ocelot needed some more practice with that day. We set clear expectations with the Aldridge Ocelot Expectations and believe in giving reminders. When those are not enough, we may sign the blue card so you know it is something to talk about at home. We ask that you reach out to your Ocelot's Teacher directly with questions about their specific method of providing warnings, blue cards and behavior management. It makes a huge difference when we are aligned as a team at school and home! We really do appreciate the opportunity to clarify and build our trust as a team for your children!

On September 18-20, students in Grades 1,3, and 5 at Aldridge will take the Cognitive Abilities Test™ (CogAT®).

Attached you will find resources we will frequently use this year. Jump start your student's learning by referencing these materials and starting good habits at home. Many of these look and feel like a game on the student side but are individualized learning opportunities on the Teacher side.
