Happy Thursday Everyone! We have been busy working and
learning in 2nd grade this week. We have also been preparing to welcome all of our grandparents to Grandparents Day next Friday, September 8th. Activities will begin with a reception for our grandparents and follow with campus tours and a chapel program. We sure hope you are making plans to join us!

Next Monday is Labor Day. There will be no school on that day! 

Tuesday, September 6 will be the Incentive Day off for all students!! We reached our goal with 64% participation campus wide!!! Extended day will be available. Be looking for an email about this extra day off!!

Next week we will follow a different schedule of our subjects. There will not be a new Spelling list or Bible story. We will NOT have tests on Friday! We will be doing 2 short book units over Officer Buckle and Gloria and Harry the Dirty Dog instead of our regular Reading units. 

 Continue to check RENWEB for Spelling lists and homework. Family Tree projects are due on Wednesday, September 6th just in time for Grandparents Day.

Remind your student to read his/her AR book and take at least one test during the week.

If you have not already signed up for a Parent Teacher Conference, please contact your child's teacher. We still have several times available. Conferences are scheduled for September 19th.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

 Eclipse Day-August 21, 2017

It was wonderful to have so many of you join us for the historic eclipse on Monday. Even though the clouds didn't cooperate with us, it was amazing! The children had learned so much about what to expect and what to look for. It was a great day!

It was also wonderful to have you back again on Tuesday night for Open House. The children worked so hard to get things ready to show off their classrooms.

Don't forget about our fundraisers. The last turn in day is TOMORROW, Friday, August 25th!! If we have 60% participation in these fundraisers we will all get an extra day off following the Labor Day holiday! Any student selling $100 will get that day off. Sell, Sell, Sell! It is a great way to support our school!

Grandparents Day is just around the corner. On September the 8th we will be welcoming our grandparents to our campus for a very special day. We hope that you will be making plans to join us!

Students will be working on creating a family tree project at home for display on Grandparents Day. Please be sure to check their binders for instructions. These projects are due on Wednesday, September 6th.

If you were not able to sign up for a Parent-Teacher Conference on Tuesday night, please check with your child's teacher for a time slot. Conferences will be held on September 19th from 3-7 pm.

Continue to encourage your child to read his/her AR book and take tests consistently. 

Check and sign the planner everyday.

Check RENWEB for Spelling words. Spelling packets are due on Thursdays.

August 18

It has been another fun and exciting week in 2nd grade! This week we went to our first STEM class and kicked off our first Fundraiser.




Lots of students are already collecting emojis for selling CitiSaver books. (If you aren't sure what this means, ask your 2nd grader!)


Turning in $100 in sales of any merchandise qualifies your child for a day off from school on September, 5. If we have 60% campus participation in our fundraiser ALL  students will receive this day off! That means a longer Labor Day weekend!! AND think of the benefits for our school if everyone participates in the fundraisers!

Monday is the Big Solar Eclipse of 2017!! There will be a huge event here on our campus. You have received information about it and we have been studying and getting prepared all week. Please make plans to join us if you can. Look for information in your child's binder about the schedule of events.

Elementary Open House is on Tuesday August 22 from 5-7pm. Please plan to come and see what we have been doing for the first few weeks of school.

Continue to check and initial your child's binder each day. Remember Spelling lists can be found on RENWEB.

Hooray for 2nd Grade!

We are off to a great start this year. We are quickly learning our new routines and expectations. We started out our week with Praise Chapel in the Eagle's Nest, and we have gotten to go to Specialty classes and PE each day. We got to get both classes together for 2nd grade Sing and learn some new songs.

Our first week is going by quickly!

Please remember to check your children's binders and sign their planners every night.

Spelling words for the first term were sent home last week. You can also check RENWEB for them each week.

Be looking for fundraiser information to come home soon!
