Welcome to 2nd grade!

Sunday, August 12^th

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 16^th.  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 28^th (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

Second Grade Homeroom Teacher
