allowed to eat their snack at the green picnic tables.

Can I bring treats for my child's birthday?

2nd Grade has decided due to an increase in food allergies that 
we will NOT be permitting treats for a child's birthday. 
However, if your child would like to bring in something else, 
such as pencils, or erasers that is fine. 
Please make sure your child brings in enough for 26 students.

What if my child forgets their homework?

Everyone forgets once in a while, so the first time they forget I will just 
ask them to remember to bring it in the following Monday.  After the first 
time, they will be asked to do their homework at school the next day during 
their recess time.  If they did not complete their homework because of a 
special event at home (birthday, Grandma's in town, etc.), please send me a 
note and let me know when they will be bringing it in.

How do I know if a book is the appropriate level for my child?

A quick test would be to have your child read aloud one page. If your child 
makes three or more mistakes, the book is at their frustration level, and an 
easier book should be chosen. However, this would be an excellent book for 
you to read to/with your child, as parents are great reading role models.

Can a sibling go on a field trip?

No. As a parent chaperone you are responsible for the safety of those 
students assigned to you. Siblings can be a distraction that interfere with 
the learning environment of the field trip.

How often is my child assessed?

Students will be assessed throughout the school year to gauge growth and 
progress. There will be weekly math and spelling tests on Fridays. Reading 
Comprehension, Writing, Science, and Social Studies are tested on an on-
going basis. In addition, there are formalized district and state-wide 
mandated assessments given throughout the year.
