Dear Parents:

Welcome To Second Grade at Knollwood Elementary. I am very excited about this year. I hope your child has adjusted well to Second Grade. We have been doing a lot of new Second Grade things too.

There are a few things that I ask you as Parents to do each night with your child:

1. Please have your child read to you every night for twenty minutes. Please encourage them to select books that they can read to you or someone older in your family. Your child will bring home two books- a fiction and a non-fiction- at least three times doing the week. Please sign their RAH folder when they have read these books.  They earn 5 points for these books whenever they bring their folder back to school signed by you.  This is part of their reading grade each quarter.

2. Check their planners every night and sign the planner. Sometimes there may be very important information that they will write in their planners concerning things for homework or things in the classroom.

3. Check behavioral sheets, sign them and return everyday. This will let you know how your child's behavior has been for that day.

4. I do not mind you helping your child with their homework. I encourage you to check their homework before they turn it in. If you have any problems understanding what to do, please give me a call or write a note.

5. School begins at 7:30 am. Please have your child here before 7:45. We do skills review in the mornings and some children are not completing this assignment.

We will be dismissing on Thursday, October 29th at 12:00 p.m.  Please make sure your child knows what he/she will do that day.  On October 30th, there will be no school for children.  Students will return on November 2nd.

I will begin first quarter report card conferences on November the 2nd.  Please return the conference sign up sheet as soon as possible.  I will send you a time and day for our conference.

Please encourage your child to do their best and listen and follow directions the first time. 

You are more than welcome to visit our classroom at any time. If you would like to eat lunch with your child, we go at 12:10.

Have a Great Day!
Mrs. V. Heggins
