A Note from
Your Teacher: n
The parent reconciliation meeting next Thursday is only for a parent or parents of those making his/her first reconciliation. If your child is not making this sacrament this year, you do not have to attend. I wanted to clarify that because I know we have a few that aren’t catholic or didn’t attend PSR in first grade. I have issued each child a reading book . We will be using it each week for the second semester of school. The books will come home regularly so your child can practice the story. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Have a great weekend and upcoming week.

Notes:
Please do not forget to send a snack each day with your child! The second graders now have chrome books to use at school. Please send a pair of earbuds with your child as soon as you can so that he/she can work on them throughout the day without disturbing others. Label them with your child’s initials or send them in a ziploc bag with his/her name on the bag. Please do not send expensive headphones to school. Earbuds can be bought cheaply at most local discount stores. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
