Welcome to 2nd Grade Curriculum Night Your 2nd Grade Team Mrs. Andrade, Mrs. Baugh, & Ms. Hurtado

Tonight’s Goals Provide information about our curriculum, daily procedures, and what your child will be doing this year. Last week, we have been busy assessing students and helping them learn procedures in order to transition them into 2nd grade. Since we are only in the 2nd week of school, it is difficult to discuss your child’s progress with you tonight. If we have concerns, we will be sure to contact you.

Parking & Campus Access Limited parking Parent pick up for 2nd Graders is at basketball court area unless picking up a Kindergarten sibling. Parents are not allowed on campus unless you sign in at front office. After visiting, you must sign out and exit through the office. For your child’s safety, all students will enter the campus and proceed directly to the playground or to cafeteria for breakfast.
