Dear Parents,

Welcome to the beginning of 2nd grade!  There will be many exciting things to learn and discover in the 2nd grade and I have high expectations of all my students.  My classroom policy is very simple: work hard, do your best and you will succeed.  I have faith that all my students will work very hard this year and have fun doing it.

Each child will receive 3 notebooks from St. Lucy’s.  These books will be used throughout the year.  Your child will also need 3 or more sharpened pencils each day, 2 folders, 1 coloring book and 1 box of 16 or 24 crayons; these can be purchased elsewhere.  The crayons must stay in school, as they are used everyday in class.   

-Your child’s name should be on all of his or her belongings, especially the outside of
  their lunchbox and in the sweater/sweatshirts.
-Parents are to check their child’s take home (TH) folders and planners each night.
-Parents must sign all homework and test papers.  Signed test papers are to be returned the next day.
-All workbooks and textbooks must be covered with clear contact paper by Friday,   
  September 22nd.   (I will be sending a few books home each night.  Please do not do any work in the books unless it has been assigned!)                                                  
-All money from home must be brought to school in an envelope labeled with your
  child’s name, class and contents.
-Please remember, it is very important for your child to do his or her homework 
  every night!  There is a homework grade given in each subject.

If at any time you have a comment, concern or a question, feel free to contact me by email at [email protected] or simply send a note in with your child.  

Thanking you in advance for your cooperation!
Mrs. Maruri-Cox
