    Welcome to Second Grade!! 

     

    Communication

    Open communication between the teacher and families is a huge key to student success, so please feel free to reach out to me at any time. 

    Email is the best way and I will check it several times a day.  My email address is christi.robson@dvusd.org

    Once we get rolling you should expect an e-mail from me about once a week, usually on Wednesday. I use Class Dojo as a supplemental form of communication, but email is my primary source. I use Class Dojo for reminders and I often post pictures of the fun things we do, so if you would like, please join our class. Invitations will come home within the first few weeks of school. 

    Birthday Treats

    I love celebrating birthdays! Due to allergies, we ask you to only send in only peanut free treats. 

    Arranging a school approved "treat basket" from the cafeteria staff is also a great and easy way to celebrate your child's birthday. 

    Class Wish List

    Disinfecting wipes are always helpful and appreciated. Also, please see this following link for our class wish list. Little toys, water bottle stickers and treats are awesome for our class treasure chest and the students really appreciate them. 

    Absenses

    Hopefully, I will see your children every day, but of course, things come up. Please call the school at (623) 445-8090 to let them know if your child will be absent.  If you would like to pick up absent work at the end of the school day or have it sent home with a sibling or neighbor, please email me. 

    Arrivals & Departures 

    School starts at 8:45 a.m. and dismisses at 3:30 p.m.  On early release days, dismissal is at 2:00 p.m.

    Clothing

    Please have your children wear tennis shoes on PE days. Please see the Daily Schedule Page for our Specials Rotation.  The air conditioner in our classroom can be a little bit unpredictable and tends to run on the cold side in the mornings. Often, kids will bring a sweater to leave in the classroom. 

    Lunch 

    Our lunch period is at 12:35.  You are welcome to come join your child for lunch. Money can be added to your child's cafeteria account through

    Homework

    The only homework expectation for 2nd grade is that they read for a minimum of 20 minutes per day and complete a provided reading log weekly. This will begin in September and must be completed to participate in the Fun Friday activities. 

    Behavior

    In our classroom we use Class Dojo as a positive behavior plan. The more awesome choices they make, the more points they get. After 10 points, they can pick a prize or a privilege. The privileges can be show and tell, a special pen jar for the day or lunch with the teacher. The treasure box is full of parent donation items. The kids usually LOVE water bottle stickers, fidgets or slime. To contribute, please see my Amazon wish list. 

    Parent Volunteers

    There will be opportunities to volunteer throughout the school year. I will be looking for a "room parent" or two to help plan class parties. Also, we will be attending 2 Field Trips and I will be needing about 6 Chaperones for each trip. If you would like to volunteer, you must be volunteer trained through DVUSD. The district provides several training opportunities throughout the year at different campuses. You only need to do this training once. I would also love help with making copies if that is more your speed =)
