Important Update

Dear Parents and Students,

During the school closure, students will be expected to complete lessons assigned weekly by teachers. It is essential to check teacher blogs daily. School will be out for a month. It is critical that students are working productively at home in order to prevent learning loss. Here are the expectations for the next 3 weeks:

  • Students will be expected to use I-Ready for 45 minutes a week which will include two lessons. Lessons must be completed until the student passes with an 85 percent pass rate. 
  • Students must use Zearn for math. Students must practice on Zearn for at least an hour a week. 
  • Students must read for 30 minutes a day using their reading bags. Have students recount/retell their reading upon completion. 
  • Students must respond to a writing prompt every week through Google Classroom.

We thank you for your support during this unique time. Please reach out through email at your convenience with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

The 2nd Grade Team
