  • OWLEUS Anti-Bullying Kickoff begins Mon. 9/18. Please look for the paper that was sent home and don’t forget to participate!!
  • Re-teach has started. This is during walking track time for second grade. If students have work to finish or re-do, they are given the opportunity to finish it during this time. Re-teach is also a time to allow for practice (re-teach) for behaviors. If students are not following the rules/expectations set for our school or classroom, they will practice during this time. Also, if students land on orange or red they will be in during walking track for re-teach of those behaviors.
  • Field Trip forms and Math Class forms came home on Fri. 9/15. Please have the admission fee with the permission slip when it is turned in. We will let chaperones know as soon as possible who we can take. Please consider being a Level 1 Chaperone to be able to attend our trip.
  • Students have done a great job getting into the second grade routines! We are continuing to work hard to get our work completed fully and correctly. We are also focusing on listening and following directions carefully.
