 Recess
A twenty-minute time for indoor or outdoor recess is set aside daily. To avoid the risk of loss or damage, students are not to bring any toys or trading cards from home. Toys brought from home may be confiscated and held by the teacher until a parent or guardian is able to retrieve them.

Snack Time

Students may bring a snack from home to eat during snack time. The teacher will not provide a daily snack for students. Due to serious allergies, students are not to share the snacks he or she has brought. It is allowable for students to bring a bottle of water. No soda, juice, or colored drinks, please.

Lunch: 10:35- 11:05

Second grade teachers will send home a weekly reading and math assignment. The assignments will be sent home on Monday and due back on Friday.

Birthdays
Please contact Mrs. Logan directly if you would like to send a class treat in to honor of your child’s birthday. If outside party invitations are to be sent home, please make sure there is an invitation included for every child in the class. 

 Blue Communication Folder
Each day your child will bring home his or her blue Communication Folder. Notes, important information, and/or classwork/graded work will be placed in the folder on a weekly basis. Please review these items with your child and remove them from the folder. Any notes or money should be sent to school in the folder. It is the child’s responsibility to remove these items and place them in the teacher basket. A monthly communication calendar will be on the back of the blue folder and will include school event dates, assessment dates, and notes from the teacher as needed.

Make-Up Work
If a child is absent one day, he or she will have one day to complete any make-up work. If a child is absent two days, he or she will have two days to finish any make-up work and so on.

 Grade Scale
As in Kindergarten and 1^st grade, 2^nd grade students are scored using a standards-based report card. The grading scale will consist of BE (below expectations), AE (approaching expectations) and OT (on track).
