Arrival/Dismissal
Students
will enter the building between 8:35 and 8:50am. School begins promptly at 8:55. Students are expected to be in their seats, unpacked and ready for
the day, at 8:55am.
For
dismissal all students will be exiting out the front doors. They will be dismissed from the classrooms beginning at 3:25.
Lunch/Recess
Second
graders begin recess at 11:10 and lunch at 11:35. Students may choose to pack or buy a
lunch. Lunch menus come home monthly. Extra copies can be
found in the office.
Specials
Second
grade will be attending specials from 12:25-1:010 daily. Specials are on a rotating schedule. Day 1 is Library, day 2-Art, day 3- Music, day 4-P.E. and then back to day 1. Because of this it will be helpful if your child leaves an extra pair of gym shoes at school so that he/she can participate on gym day.
Take-Home Folders
Each
child will be given a purple "take home" folder. This folder
will transport papers to and from school daily. Please clean out your
child's folder and bookbag nightly. There are two sides of the
folder; one for papers to keep at home and one for papers to be returned to
school. Students will be responsible to packing their folders so please double
check that papers are coming back to school if needed. Anything
that you are sending to school with your child should be placed in this folder
(lunch money, notes, etc.)
Birthdays
Students may
bring in a small finger food birthday treat on the school day closest to their
birthday or 1/2 birthday. Please be sure to send in napkins and any other paper
products needed along with the snack. Children will not be allowed to
pass out birthday invitations at school unless everyone in the class is
invited. This will save hurt feelings. Please refer to the
Fairfield directory for addresses of students.
Lunch Money
Please
make sure that any lunch money sent to school is in an envelope or baggie and
marked with your child's first and last name, what the money is for, and the
amount. All of the money is sent to the office in a class envelope, and
unmarked money will not be credited to your child's account.
Scholastic Book Clubs
During
the year I will be sending book orders for Scholastic Books. Please do
not feel obligated to purchase. If you decide to place an order, please
send the completed order and payment back to school by the due date written on
the top of the order form. Make checks payable to "Scholastic Book
Clubs." I will also send home instructions about how to order
online. Every online parent order earns book coupons for our classroom!
Homework
A weekly homework folder will be passed out at the end of the week (typically Friday) and due the last day of the week (typically Friday). The folder will contain math and reading tasks.
