Welcome to our first day of Second Grade!

Wow! The morning is flying by here this morning! Our second graders are so eager to get started. I'm sending home several notes home today. Normally I will be posting everything on here and sending everything on here for parents.
Please let me know if you would like notes home in Spanish or English. Thanks!

Dear Parents:

We are ready for another wonderful year at Olson!  Please take a few minutes to read and refresh yourself on classroom information.  

Communication & Our Classroom Blog:


Above is the URL for our classroom blog.  It is a great way to get up to date information about events in our classroom, upcoming dates, and homework.  Homework is updated each day and new posts are added to the blog several times each week.  The blog has a unique feature called “Follow me by Email.” If you click on this link and enter your email address you will get one email per day if a new post has been added.  It’s a great feature to let you know when might be a good time to take a peek at our blog.  Beginning of the year letters and classroom policies are posted on our blog.  Please log on and look these over.  If you require paper copies please let me know!

  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by e-mail (my email address is located on the blog), writing a note, or calling the school.  I check my email several times a day, so if you have a quick question this might be the fastest way to get a hold of me.  Please be aware that if we are having computer difficulties or if we have a substitute, an email may not be seen.  If your message is time sensitive (i.e. – different transportation arrangements) a note or phone call to the school is the safest bet.

Snack/breakfast:
Your child may choose to have breakfast, juice, or milk each day first thing in the morning in the cafeteria.  We will have snack in the classroom at 7:45 for those of you who like to bring your own. Only healthy snacks will be allowed, such as crackers, pretzels, fruits, or vegetables. No cookies or chips. Birthday treats need to remain healthy snacks also. We love to recognize your child's special day here at school, but please save the cupcakes and cookies for home parties. Thank you. 

Money-If you need to send any money to school please put it in a baggie or envelope with your child's name and 2TM or 2TS with your child's homeroom teacher code. Thanks.

Assignment Notebooks: 
Your child’s assignment notebook is a wonderful organizational tool.  Your child is expected to record any homework in his/her assignment book daily.  Each night please sign your child’s assignment book to indicate that all homework is complete.  In addition, please clean out the Take Home Folder each night, and return the completed homework the next day.

Your child’s 2nd grade year is a very special time.  We will work hard to prepare for success by becoming independent, successful students.  At Olson it is also a time for your child to show leadership and be a true role model for others.  Both the academic and behavioral expectations are high this year.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year of academic growth, team building and creating memories to last a lifetime!

                                                                   Sincerely,
                                                                   Mrs. Montes & Ms. Salas J
