Welcome
to the second grade community at Ox Ridge! We hope you all enjoyed the summer and are excited about a
new school year. We have been
collaborating over the summer to get ready for the start of school and will
continue to plan together throughout the coming months to make this a terrific
year. We are providing some
initial information for you today and will continue to keep you apprised of our
grade level news going forward.
Following is a specials schedule. Please
make note of scheduled PE days so your child will have appropriate
footwear. Library books should be
returned on the day we have Library.
Also, please send in a smock labeled with your child’s name which can be
kept in the classroom for Art (an old shirt would be great).
We
will be having snack on a daily basis (parent-provided or students may sign-up
to buy snack from the cafeteria).
Please be sure to send in a snack every day or let your child know if
he/she has permission to buy snack.
Remember, healthy snacks will give our students the energy to be the
best that they can be. Due to specific
food allergies of students in our classroom, please speak with your child about
not sharing snacks at school because of health concerns.
If
there is a change in your child’s transportation home, please be sure to send
in a note that morning. We will
also require a note if your child will be picked up, attending after school
activities, etc. Please send in a
note as soon as possible confirming your child’s bus number that he/she will
take home from school.
An
abundance of paperwork comes with the territory in the beginning of the school
year. Please use the attached
check list to help you keep track of what needs to be returned to school within
the next couple of days.
To
cover the cost of special activities and projects throughout the year we are
requesting that each student contribute $15. This money will be allocated for film and picture
development, special craft supplies, special snacks, Time for Kids Magazine,
etc. If you have questions or
concerns regarding this contribution please let us know. Cash is preferred. If you need to send a check please make
it payable to CASH or your child’s teacher. Please place the contribution in an envelope marked with
your child’s name.
In
the near future, we’ll provide an explanation about homework. Homework will begin the week of
September 10th.
We
are so excited that our year has begun.
We look forward to helping your children grow in academic strength, as
they take on greater responsibility. At our Open House, on September 27th , we’ll be
discussing curriculum and daily routines.
We are looking forward to a great year together!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Frawley, Mrs. Johnson, Ms. Leavy and
Mrs. McGettigan
