Dear Parents,

Thank you for attending 2013's Open House! It was my pleasure to meet (almost) all of you! I hope that your Parent Welcome Packet has been helpful. Please remember to return all important documents to school on your child's first day (Monday A-L, Tuesday M-Z). Click Welcome Newsletter if you would like a digital version of the very first newsletter. Once I have a complete list of everyone's preferred email address I will begin sending weekly newsletter updates starting the second week of school.

Until Next Time,
Miss R.

Second Grade Team 2013-2014
