Parent Letter and Supply List

Welcome 2nd Grade Families!

I hope your child is as excited as I am about the new school year. It will be full of new experiences and a lot of fun! This note will include information about our class procedures, so please keep it handy for easy reference throughout the year.

Snacks and Birthdays

We will have a designated snack time every day. If you would like to pack your child a snack, please send healthy items. You may want

to send a bottle of water each day too. Some healthy choices include: goldfish, fruit, vegetables, crackers, pretzels.

ALL of the 2nd Grade classrooms will be PEANUT FREE. Please check ingredients before sending a snack with your child.

We are happy to celebrate your child’s birthday in class! However, Miller Elementary is taking steps to become a more healthy school, so please do NOT send cakes, cupcakes, or sugary foods. Goodie bags are okay, but will not be consumed in class and will be sent home at the end of the day.

Important Homework

Your child will have homework Monday through Thursday. I will be sending work that your child should be able to complete alone, however, your help may be needed at times. Please help your child to

DISCOVER the answer without GIVING the answer.
Your child will be required to read for at least 20 minutes

every day at home, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

If your child forgets his/her homework, he/she will bring a note home for you to sign. This will keep you informed of your child’s

missing assignments.

Expectations

In order to guarantee that your child and all of the students in my class have the successful year they deserve, I will not tolerate any student stopping me from teaching, nor any student stopping another from learning.

Be Responsible. Be Respectful. Be Safe.

*positive reinforcement

*consequences

If a student chooses to break a rule, they will flip their behavior card from Green (which means great job), to the following colors:

Yellow = Warning;
Orange = Time Out & Fill out a “Think About It” form
Red = Complete a “Think About It” form, office referral, and parent contact Blue = office referral and parent contact

M i l l e r S c h o o l R u l es

In our classroom, we strive to be the best we can be! There will be several rewards for the class to enjoy for good behavior. They may

include extra recess, videos, stickers, electronics day, etc.

Miller Elementary will provide some basic supplies, but students may find it more

convenient to have their own materials. The following items are recommended: -pencils -pencil box -backpack -box of tissues -crayons -glue sticks -dry erase markers -composition notebook -hand sanitizer

Thank You!

Once again, I would like to welcome
not only your child to my class, but you as well. I consider us a team in working toward a good, quality education for your child. I am looking forward to meeting you! I encourage you to visit our room during Open House, conferences, parent meetings and other school activities. Discuss this plan with your child and consistently ask about their day! Praise your children when they are doing well and encourage them to work harder when they aren’t doing their best work. I appreciate your cooperation & support!
