Welcome to Second Grade!
Please find your child’s desk and fill out the information in the packet you will find on their desk. You will also find a “Note to Parent” on the desk that is written to you from your wonderful child! Once you are done reading the note take the time to write your child a note on the “Note to Child” worksheet.
I look forward to informing you about the ins and outs of 2nd Grade!
