Welcome Back!
We hope you've had an amazing Summer! We want to share with you some exciting things happening at Chimborazo Elementary School this year that are going to make your child's 2nd grade year the best yet!

Hassle-Free Homework
We can't wait to share our exciting new "Home Reading Program" that will be pain-free for parents while truly making an impact on students' academic growth. Please plan to attend Back to School Night on Thursday, September 19th so we can share all of the details with you. Until then, focus on making sure your child gets acclimated to their new school schedule by getting a full night's sleep. Also, ask them to share a few specific things they did during the school day, everyday! Thanks for all of your support!
Sincerely,
The 2nd Grade Team
