Welcome Back!

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer. If you made it to the Open House you already received our Second Grade Welcome/Information letter. On the first day of school, your child will be bringing home several more information sheets (some of which will need to be filled out, signed, and returned). These sheets will be coming home in your child's Monday folder, which is how the second grade teachers will communicate with you on a weekly basis. Please be sure to check this folder and return everything, signed, the next day.

There will be more information to follow, but I thought you'd want to know that we will have Gym on the first day of school. We will have a six day rotating schedule, which will be identified with letters. Please be sure that your child wears non-marking rubber sole shoes (or has a change of shoes available) on the day of Gym class. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Enjoy the last day of summer vacation!
