REMINDERS:
1. Please remember to cover all soft-covered books. Some children still have none of their Reading or Language Arts books covered.
2. Remember to read the purple assignment book and check the HW folder each night to know your child's homework for each day.
3. Your child needs to remember to bring all of their school supplies every day.
4. I would appreciate if each child would bring a box of tissues if they have not already done so.
5. Please check the school blog every day for HW updates and information. It is impossible for the children to copy down everything so please make it a priority to check the blog. Please remember to click under Mrs. Larios, the week and 2nd Grade.
6. Remember that HW counts as a grade and many children are not completing it. Check your child’s Reading and Language Arts NB every day to see if I have written you a note.
7.Please sign the test papers that will be given out by Mr. Woods on Thursday. Review them with your child and return on Tuesday, 10/13. These tests must be kept on file in your child's test folder in school.
