August 23- August 25

Welcome Back to School!

I hope you had a fantastic summer spent with family and friends. I am really looking forward to spending the school year with your child in Second Grade learning and having fun! The class blog will be updated weekly and helps provides useful information about what's happening in the classroom and on our campus 

week-to-week. 

Back to School Night: Thursday, August 31

Please join us for this evening to familiarize yourself with what to anticipate for the year. Adults only can attend one of two presentations (both presentations are identical). The first presentation is from 6:30- 7:00 p.m., the second from 7:15-7:45 p.m.  Back to school night is held in your child's classroom and will be very informative and will also provide and opportunity for you to ask questions.
