2nd grade will be sending home iPads with chargers Tuesday. Please ensure your child brings their fully charged iPad to school each day. In the green folders, you will find a home use contract. Please sign and return. Thank you!
No more FRIDAY FOLDERS!!
Hurray! There will be no more Friday Folders, but you can find most information in our weekly Smore' that goes out every Friday! We will be sending home PTA information and important notices Friday in students Green Take Home Folder.
Star Student
Please be on the look out for the Star Student information in the Green Folders.
Snacks/Water
Just a reminder, the students are allowed to bring a water bottle and snack to class each day. I would actually prefer they all have a water bottle so that they don't have to leave class to go get a drink, but please make sure it is just water. No flavored water or colored water please. Please make sure that they are having a healthy snack as well. NO PEANUTS! Something fast and quick like goldfish, pretzels, crackers, etc.
Volunteers
We love to utilize volunteers in the classroom and appreciate each and every one of you that are able to do this! Please review the volunteer handbook and complete the background check if you would like to volunteer this year. http://www.gcisd-k12.org/page/474 **YOU MUST COMPLETE IT EACH YEAR!!
Sign up for PTA Please :)
Please, sign up for PTA if you have not already. We are trying to get 100% participation. Thank you to those who have already done so.
HEADPHONES
This year we will be using technology more and more to help aid us in our learning. If you have not sent in a pair of headphones with your child, please send them in as soon as you can.
