Weekly Peek

It was a busy week here in 2nd grade! We got to participate in a "mock/Book" elections at Gwin Oaks. Congrats to Remy, our student of the week! She does a great job making good choices and always working to do her best.

Please remember that next Tuesday, November 5 we have a digital learning day. This is a day where students will be learning from home. Assignments will be posted on eCLASS for them to complete. Students are required to complete the work and this is a school day with assignments. Students can use home computers and can share devices with other siblings, as the assignments should not take all day to complete. If your student checked out a computer last time, they will take them home again to use next week. If you did not get a device last time, but your child needs one this time, please reach out to me as soon as possible to make sure it is ready to go home on Monday.

Next week...
