2nd Grade Parent Update

Week of October 8 - 12

Announcements for this Week:

Progress Reports

We are nearly halfway through the first trimester, and it may be time to begin thinking about providing students with a little extra academic support before report cards are distributed in November. Progress reports will be sent home this week to any students who may need a little extra help in a particular content area. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s academic progress.

Safe Moves Assembly

Students will be attending an assembly about traffic safety on Wednesday morning. The program will educate students about pedestrian, vehicle, and bicycle safety in an interactive way by navigating them through a “Safe Moves City”. Don’t forget to reinforce safety regulations with your child  in your home and on the road!
