Teacher Reminders

              Teacher: Mrs. Banks          
                 Class: 2nd grade

Homework:
       Your child will bring home a homework packet on Mondays.  Please help them to complete all worksheets, and return the completed packet on Friday for a homework grade.  Your child may complete the worksheets in any order as long as they are all completed (front and back).  Your child’s homework will include a spelling page (the sheet with words on a pencil) that needs to be completed as well, and they will need to study and learn how to spell all words on the list for a weekly test on Friday.  Your child should not have a problem with the weekly spelling test if they review their words each night, practice writing them, and/or spell the words to you aloud as you call them to them. 

Uniforms:
       Your child must wear the proper uniform to school each day that follows the Liberty County School System uniform policy.  A copy of this policy was sent home in your child’s folder during the first week of school.  Please let me know if you need another copy.  Please remember your child needs to wear a belt each day (unless their outfit does not have belt loops).  The uniform shirt needs to be white, navy blue, or red (burgundy shirts are not allowed at JME).   Students who do not follow dress code policy will receive a violation notice with the corresponding consequence set up in the code of conduct. 

Behavior:
        Please remind your child to come to school each day ready to learn with the necessary supplies and their communication folder.  Our expectation at JME is that every child comes to school demonstrating that they are ready, respectful, and responsible.  Discuss with your child ways to meet this goal each day, and review with them any behavior notes that are sent home and how they can improve for the next school day.  Your support in addressing behavior issues at home is very important to the success of your child and our class as a whole.  Thanks in advance for your assistance with this important issue.

Class blog:  
            Please visit our class blog for suggested sites to practice 2nd grade skills and to see various activities that we participate in at school throughout the year.  You may sign up to follow our blog to receive notification each time a new post is added to the website.

Welcome!

Dear students and parents,
            I am so excited to begin a new school year with you and your family.  We have so much to learn and accomplish throughout the year, and I need every student to come to school each day on time and following our school rules: 1. Be ready   2. Be responsible   3. Be respectful.  Remember these three simple rules each day and I know that you will have a wonderful year and learn a lot of new information.  Open House was a great success, and I truly enjoyed meeting each of you.  Now let's get ready to rumble, and have an amazing year together. Game on... ready, set, go!
