Good Morning Second Grade Families,

I am so excited for this evening.  I sincerely hope you can all make it to our Back to School Night for second grade.  Please note that I will be giving the same presentation during the first and second sessions so you may attend either.  I look forward to meeting many of you and hopefully answering many questions that you may have about second grade. Please be prompt tonight as Mr. Dolan will begin with introductions in the Piazza at 6:00.

There will be no child care this evening so please make arrangements for your children to stay at home as they are not allowed at this parent event. Thank you!

Mrs. Wall

Good Afternoon (Buenas Tardes),

Today all of the students received their www.raz-kids.com usernames and passwords.  This information is glued/tapes into their Take Home Folder.  This folder must be returned to school EVERYDAY! Please make it part of your daily routine to look in the Take Home Folder for any important information that will be coming home.

Your student learned today in class what they need to do at www.raz-kids.com at home every night.  I'll refresh Mom and Dad at our Back to School Night of the second grade expectations for this wonderful resource.  In short, your student needs to be reading online at www.raz-kids.com everyday.

Tomorrow is the last day to turn in the Student/Parent Handbook form and the Technology Agreement in order to receive a Non-Uniform Dress Pass for this Friday.  Please turn them into Mrs. Wall tomorrow morning.  There are many students who still need to turn them in. You can find these forms and reading at our school website and should have also received them via email from St. Lawrence.  Thank you all so much!

Tomorrow is a 12:30 dismissal. Your students will be able to purchase lunch once they go to Children's Center but we will not be going to lunch together as a class.

Happy Monday Second Grade! Thank you for all of you who showed your ABC Superstar actions today in class and on the the playground.

Please read the Student/Parent Handbook and Technology Handbook tonight WITH Mom and Dad.  Your parents can print the agreement and you should all sign it saying that you agree to what each of these documents say and you understand everything. If you return both signed documents by THIS WEDNESDAY you will receive a NON-UNIFORM DRESS PASS for Friday, August 24th.
Thank you to those of you who have already turned your agreements into me or the office.

Mom and Dad-Next Tuesday night, August 28th is Back to School Night! Please mark your calendars now and plan to be in our second grade classroom to learn about this school year (expectations, homework, Sacraments, etc.).

The St. Lawrence Student Creed is something all St. Lawrence students need to know, memorize, and always try their best to fulfill at school and at home.  Keep practicing this until you can do it with your eyes closed!


St. Lawrence Student Creed

As a student of Saint Lawrence, I solemnly promise to work hard and always try my best.

I believe I can use Jesus’ teachings to become a better student.

I will achieve by studying and working hard on my assignments.

I will succeed and become a good citizen of the world and a better follower of Jesus Christ.

Thank you second graders for a wonderful first day of school! It was so amazing to meet all of you and listen to you share a little about yourselves. I can't wait to see what you are going to do this year!

We have P.E. tomorrow so please dress accordingly and ready for fun! The weather has been pretty warm so please always make sure you have a bottle of water.  You can bring something that is refillable or just a plastic bottle to fill up in the water fountain.

Finally, thank you for all of the supplies that were brought to school this morning! It is great to see the students start off the school year with everything they need.  Thank you Moms and Dads!

See you all in the morning on the blacktop!

Mrs. Wall

Welcome to 2nd grade!


Sunday, August 12th

Dear Second Grade Families,
Welcome to our 2012-2013 school year at St. Lawrence! We are so excited you are here with us and eager to get to know each and every one of you.  It is going to be a wonderful year in second grade!  I am Mrs. Jill Wall, your second grade teacher.  This year we are blessed to have Mrs. Laure Vierra with us in our classroom as a full-time instructional assistant as well. 
School begins in only a few days so start getting back into your routine of going to bed early and waking up early with a healthy breakfast.  Our first day is Thursday, August 16th.  Please be early that morning as you should bring all of your supplies with you.  We will meet out on the blacktop where our normal morning assembly is, which is behind our classroom.  Our class supply list is on our SchoolOne website https://dsj.schoolone.com/.  Please come with everything you need on Thursday morning.  Also, start thinking about one (or more) of the books you read this summer and write down the title and author so you can share something about this interesting book with your new classmates during the first couple days of school.
Independence and responsibility are our two main goals for this school year.  You will hear me talk a lot about this throughout the school year and you’ll get to see your children grow into independent learners and responsible citizens as they learn more about the world around them.  You will get the most information about what is going on at school everyday through our classroom website, so please sign up to “follow” me as soon as possible. http://wall2stlawrence.blogspot.com/ 
Back to School Night is coming soon as well.  Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 28th (evening) for a fun and informational night about second grade.  All PARENTS are welcome and encouraged to come as this will give you the most information about our school year together and answer any and all questions you ma have.  This will also be our introduction to Sacramental preparation.  In the meantime you should be able to find information at our school homepage   http://www.saintlawrence.org/slem/ .
We look forward to starting this new adventure with you! Enjoy the final days of your vacation. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Wall
