Dear 2nd Grade Parents,
Thank you for preparing your child for their first day in 2nd grade! Please be sure to fill out all forms sent with home with them today and return them tomorrow along with their “Red” HW folder. Please take some time to also look over their 2nd Grade Weekly News Letter (attached below) that lists our Learning focus, Upcoming Events, as well as HW list.
On another tangent, please be aware of the updated policy for birthdays celebrated on campus. The new policy is below for the 2017-2018 school year. All former policies are no longer accepted:
“All birthdays in the same month will be celebrated on one day in that month. Summer birthdays will be celebrated in either May or June, but it’s up to the teachers’ discretion. This is in no way mandatory. In an effort to build each teacher’s classroom library and also promote literacy, parents also have the option of donating a book to the classroom library in their child’s name as a birthday gift in their child’s name. Again, this is optional.
The room parents, in conjunction with the teacher, will decide the exact date of the class birthday party for a particular month. The room parents will contact the parents of the children with birthdays in that month and each family can bring in one healthy treat or drink for a small 30-minute party (maximum). There is absolutely NO eating in classrooms, so all parties will take place on the brown or blue benches or in the hall if it’s free on the chosen date. Parents can divvy up the healthy treats by coordinating together with the room parents or on their own and in collaboration with the teacher. Teachers must be aware of what parents are bringing in and be aware of allergies as well.”
Thank you in advance for Tom Arteaga and Carousel Castrodes for being our Room parents. If anyone else is interested to be our Room parent, please let me know by Back To School Night on September 6. Thank you and God bless! Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.
In Christ,
Sr. Tina
