We're Diving into 2nd Grade!! |
I am very excited about having your child in my class this year! I know it is going to be a wonderful year for all of us. I encourage you to get involved in your child's academics. Please help them daily in their handwriting, oral reading fluency, spelling, voacabulary, and math. They will greatly benefit from it. |
An orange daily folder will be sent home which identifies homework for the evening, your child's behavior, and upcoming events. Please look for the colored folder each night and sign by the correct date. Return the folder to school each day. |
Please be sure that I know how your child is getting home in the afternoons. If it is necessary to change the routine during the year, please do so by writing a note. The office requires a written note rather than phone calls. |
The school will provide lunch for those who wish to purchase one. The cost is $2.10 per day. You may pay for the week if it is more covenient. Checks are made payable to K.M.S. Your child will have a designated time for snack each day. Please send a nutritious snack and drink each day. No glass containers or carbonated beverages may be brought to school. Milk may be purchased from the lunchroom for 50 cents. |
The Washington County School Board has an attendance policy. Please make sure that your child is here and is on time if at all possible. Our school day begins at 7:30 with students being tardy at 7:45. Excessive absences could result in retention. Please make sure you send a written excuse for any absence. |
There will be many fun events that we will be involved in such as field trips, parties, etc. If you would like to volunteer at these events or by helping in my classroom, please do so. If you wish to have a birthday party for your child at school, you may do so. Please let me know in advance so that I may schedule a time that does not conflict with our extracurricular activities. |
Your child will be assessed 3 times this year on FAIR (Fall, Winter, & Spring). This tool assesses word lists, oral reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. This test is about accuracy and fluency. Please make sure you help prepare your child at home by practicing daily with them on the above skills. Also, talk with them about a story to help build their vocabulary as well as comprehension. |
Our school collects box tops throughout the year and receives 10 cents for each box top brought. Please help us raise money for our school by clipping box tops and sending them in each month. Your child will receive a prize for each 10 they bring. When our class collects 300 . then we receive freeze-pops.
