WELCOME TO 2nd GRADE!


Each month a class newsletter will be sent home.
This newsletter will be discussed in class and
all students will be expected to read the
newsletter to his /her parents. In this
newsletter, parents will be notified about
classroom/school events, concepts that will be
mastered, birthdays, and other news regarding our
classroom.
Welcome to Room 95! I am pleased to take this
opportunity to welcome you and your child to our
second grade class. As a teacher, I am dedicated
to help each child reach their highest potential.
With your participation and support, we can look
forward to a creative, productive, and a
successful year together. Once again, welcome to
our classroom! Communication Attendance
Homework








Your child will be given an agenda. It will be
used as a form of parent/teacher communication in
which you will be aware of daily activities,
homework, as well as if your child followed our
classroom rules, the Six Pillars of Character. In
the agenda, you will find a bookmark which will
direct you to the weeks calendar. On the top
side, your child will write the homework for
everyday and on the bottom side a daily activity
will be written and discussed at home. In that
same column a stamp will be placed if your child
had an excellent (E), or satisfactory (S) day. If
your child received an (I) improvement needed or
(U) unsatisfactory, then a brief note will be
written. Please sign and return the following
day. Please review and sign your childs agenda
on a daily basis. A parent signature shows that
you are informed of the daily activities,
homework, and behavior.





Communication is the key to a successful school
year. Please know that I am available to discuss
your childs progress, answer questions, address
concerns, or listen to suggestions. Please
contact me by sending a written note with your
child, scheduling a conference, or e-mailing me
at mrios04_at_sisd.net. As a courtesy to all
students in the classroom, I ask that parents
call only during my conference period which is
Monday-Thursday from 100-200. Phone
calls during instructional time are not permitted
and will be forwarded directly to voice mail. If
you leave a voice mail, I will return your call
as soon as possible.












In the morning second grade students will be
lining up on the basketball court. Children
should be in line by 740 a.m. Parents will not
be allowed to come into the building. At 745
the tardy bell will ring and instruction begins.
School will be dismissed at 315. We will walk
to the drop off area located by the basketball
courts . If your child is to walk home or be
picked up by a sibling, please send a note
stating details. Thank you!
Please call the office or send a note when your
child is absent. Unexcused absences will result
in your child not being able to make up work.
Excessive absences or tardies could have serious
consequences. Please note the new tardy policy
that will be sent out. This year the district
is promoting a high attendance rate. We will
have both class and school wide monthly
incentives for perfect attendance. Lets make it
count! ?









School supplies were kept to a minimum, however,
throughout the school year your child will need
to replenish supplies as needed. Please have all
school supplies by Friday, August 3. If you would
like to donate wipes, sanitizer, gallon sized
Ziplock bags, wide-ruled notebook paper it will
be greatly be appreciated!!
Homework will be assigned Mon.-Thurs. All
assignments are written on white board. It is
your childs responsibility to copy assignment
and return it daily. Homework is an extension of
what has been taught in the classroom and should
take no longer than 30 minutes.
