we need your help.

sent.

If you call during the regular school day, you will be sent to a voice mail.
Due to our schedule, we may not receive your message until after the students
have left.
If I have not returned your call by the next day, please drop a note in your child’s
communication folder.
Email is usually the fastest way to reach me.
Please note that transportation changes can not be left on voice mail or
email.
MONEY
Please make sure any money you send in is marked properly and in the correct
envelope.
ASP money must be in a brown ASP envelope that has been completely filled in.
PTA money can be in a plain envelope, but needs to be marked “PTA” and must
show your child’s name, grade, and teacher’s name.
All money for field trips, performing arts, etc. must be sent in a white activity
envelope.We will send the envelope with permission forms. This envelope must be
completely filled in with your child’s name, classroom teacher’s name, grade and the
necessary information at the bottom. Please DO NOT place any permission slips or
order forms in the envelope; attach any forms to the outside of the sealed envelope.
SNACK
Please send in a healthy snack for your child each
day.
We do not eat lunch until 12:15 and the children
get very hungry.
We are flexible with snacks. Usually we eat during
recess, at 10:30.
HOMEWORK
Homework assignments will begin soon!
Please help your child take responsibility for
completing and returning homework.
Homework is an extension of study at school and
allows your child extra practice.
Completed homework is due on Fridays.
MEDICATION
If your child needs to take medication at school or
keep an inhaler for emergencies, please send in a
detailed note.
A medication form from the clinic must be
completed before any medicine can be administered.
LABEL BELONGINGS
Please label all personal items (jacket, book bag,
lunch box, etc.).
Your child’s name should be clearly visible.
Many children have the same exact bag or coat.
If an item gets misplaced, let me know and I can
remind your child to check the lost and found.
DISCIPLINE
Behavior management is vital to creating a classroom where
learning is the focus.
We want to develop a climate of respect and responsibility.
We use a system that enables us to provide positive
reinforcement and encourage appropriate behavior by celebrating
those students who do the right thing.
All 2nd grade students are working on being PRO students!
Prepared
Respectful
On Task
POINT SYSTEM
Points will be earned by students throughout the day as they model good
behavior.
Students begin the day on a 3 and can earn or lose points throughout the
day.
Students who end the day on a 3 or 4 earn a B-Buck. Students with a 5
earn 2 B-Bucks.
If a student has a 2 or 1 at the end of the day, we will write a note in their
agenda explaining why they lost points.
Notes for behavior will be sent home from Specials teachers when
necessary.
DRAWER STORE
Drawer store is on Fridays. Students can buy lunch with a friend,
lunch with the teacher, homework pass, sit at the teacher’s desk, or no
shoes day.
I frequently purchase items for the B-Buck store in order to make this
a fun incentive for good behavior; however, I really appreciate any
donations your family would like to make.
In the past popular items have been from the party-favor aisle at Wal-
mart/Target, things from the Dollar Store, and Happy Meal prizes.
Thanks!
