Welcome to 2nd Grade News
WEEK OF 12/2/19Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with
ardor and attended to with diligence. ~Abigail Adams*************************************************************************
MESSAGES- Students received their eLearning packet last week. They are due tomorrow. Please return it all together as one packet. Thank you!
- Please try to have redo papers fixed and returned by Tuesdays. This will help your child stay on track. Also, there have been several students that have recently turned in papers with parents correcting the assignment. I will not accept corrected redo papers unless the student has made the corrections.
