GO COLTS!!!!
Snow on the Playground
As long as the temperature is above 20 degrees and it is safe for students, we will go outside for recess when there is snow on the ground. Students will only be allowed to walk and play in the snow if they are wearing snow boots and gloves. Thank you for your help with ensuring students stay safe and dry on snowy recess days!
Root Beer Floats!
Permission forms for our root beer float experiment were sent home this week. Please return the permission form as soon as possible! Thank you!
Make-Up Days
Due to the recent school cancellations, we will have school on Tuesday, February 17th and Friday, May 29th.
Bring Your Own Device
If your child received an IPads or other electronic devices over the holidays, they are more than welcome bring these to school with your permission. Second graders use these devices for both math and reading. Please make sure that your child has a BYOD permission slip on file. If you need another copy of this permission slip, please let me know. Thank you!
