Backpack or Totebag Please
have your child bring a back pack or tote bag to school
every day in which he/she can put papers, books, etc. (No
Trapper Keepers, please.) Folders Your
child has been given a "Going Home" folder. Please check the
folder every day for important papers. If the folder is lost
or ruined, please replace it immediately. Snack We will have a short snack time every afternoon. Your child may bring in a healthy snack such as a piece of fruit, cut up vegetables, crackers, nuts, popcorn, or half a sandwich. Birthdays Your child may bring something special for their birthday. Please use your discretion when sending treats. Please let me know what day you are sending them in so that we don't have more than one birthday celebration on the same day. Birthday treats should be brought in before the start of the school days. Invitations Please do not send invitations to school unless everyone in the class (or all boys/girls) is invited. Tardiness Children are marked late if they arrive after 8:05 a.m. If your child arrives afer 8:15, please have him/her report to the Attendance Office for a late pass. Absentees Please call the school if your child will be absent. Notify Mrs. Donadio at extension 6376. Let her know as well if you know in advance your child is going to be absent due to a vacation. Homework The
primary purposes for homework in second grade are to
encourage your child to be responsible and to reinforce
concepts taught in class. Homework is due the following
morning unless otherwise noted. Written work should be
completed in pencil and be neat and legible. Clothing Weather permitting, there will be daily outdoor recess following lunch. Please send your child dressed appropriately for the weather. Labeling Labeling
clothing, backpacks, lunch boxes, and other personal items
is helpful. The Lost and Found is located by the main
entrance to Reynolds. Medications All medications should be given directly to the school nurse by the parent if it needs to be taken during school hours. This procedure avoids classroom interruptions. Dismissal Please send in a note or call the Main Office if your child is going home from school other than the usual way. Visitation All visitors must report to the Main Office to sign in and receive a visitor's badge. If you have a lunch, homework, library book, or any other item, please leave if at the office for your child to pick up at a convenient time. Signing Out Please
be sure that you sign your child out in the Main Office if
you are picking him/her up early for any reason.
