Dear Parents of Incoming Second Graders, We would like to welcome you and your child to second grade. Our fall program is designed to create a high interest in learning as well as to review first grade skills that might have become a little rusty. Students who have done some pleasure reading, everyday math such as counting money or adding and subtracting numbers less than 20, as well as short writing experiences tend to feel more confident about returning to school. We go on two fieldtrips and anticipate the total cost to be about $12.00. The District provides a ruler, pencils, a homework folder, scissors, crayons, markers, and school paper. Recommended Second Grade Items: Backpack Kleenex, one box for class to share 1 ream paper for class to share Earphones to use with computer (Kiksman only) Please do not send pencil boxes, binders, pencil sharpeners or sets of markers and crayons. Desk space is limited. We will also be asking for a $10.00 donation at the beginning of the year. This pays for the National Geographic Explorer magazine and special projects. Have a safe and fun summer! We’ll see you when school starts in August. Thank you! The Second Grade Team Note: District Board policy and Administrative Regulation 3260 state “A student enrolled in a school shall not be required to pay any fee, deposit, or other charge not specifically authorized by law.”
