August 2024
Dear Parents,
Welcome to 2nd grade! I am looking forward to working closely with you to ensure your child has a wonderful year! I can't wait for he/she to join our classroom family. I was a teacher in Morristown for nine years and then I took some time off to stay home with my three kids, Michael, Sarah and Jax! This will be my third year in 2nd grade at BAC and my 13th year of teaching! I live in Long Valley with my husband of 22 years, John. I am excited to be a part of the 2nd grade team at BAC again!
I truly believe that positive communication is the key for a successful school year! Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. My email address is [email protected]. I communicate via email, Class Dojo and my weekly FriYay email once school begins.
Please take a few minutes to fill out this form before Aug. 22nd to help me get to know your child!
FORM: https://forms.gle/nTf1RwN6p2D3FWAK7
Your child will come home with a "Take Home" folder every day. Inside this folder will be their Homework Agenda, Monthly Challenge, and important notices. Please be sure to look through this folder each night. Some things can stay home, while others may need to be sent back, sometimes with a signature. You may also put any notes to me or for the PTO in this folder.
All absent reports or a change in your child's pick up schedule are now done via the Pick Up Patrol app. If you are going to pick up your child prior to 1:30pm, please email me as well in the morning of the change. Take some time to look at the other tabs on this website for some valuable information.
I hope you and your 2nd grader will stop by to meet me and check out our classroom on August 28th, 2:30pm. I will be setting up the classroom and getting ready for the year! Mark your calendars for our Back To School Night on September 11th! Grades 1-3 will be held 7:00pm-7:30pm.
SNACK: Please make sure your child has a snack daily starting the first day of school.
Just a friendly reminder, the school day has been extended this year. The kids will start arriving at 7:35am and the school day begins at 7:40am. Please make sure if you are dropping your child off in the morning that they will be in the classroom by 7:45am so they don't miss our morning meeting. Dismissal will be at 2:10pm.
