Dear Parents,
Welcome to River Eves!
I realize that many of you have questions; therefore, I have attempted
to address some of them in this letter.
If your question or concern is not answered in this letter, please feel
free to contact me at rebeccaray@limedot.com
or simply send me a note.
I look forward to getting to know each of you and having a
wonderful school year with your children.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Rebecca Ray
PS
I am pleased to announce
that we have a new class website. This
site will help keep you informed of things going on in our class and help to
reinforce the skills we are working on.
I am still working on parts of the site, but it is up and running. Please visit the site and see what’s
happening in our room.
ARRIVAL AND
DISMISSAL:

at
LUNCH (
Lunch is $1.35 for all students. Lunch may be purchased on a daily basis, but
we encourage you send a check for two to four weeks and an account will be set
up for your child. If you would like to
meet your child for lunch, River Eves offers a guest dining room. Please ask one of the lunch aides to direct
you to it.

Tuesday- No Break
Wednesday- Music
Thursday- PE

DISCIPLINE:
It is very important for your child to behave in
class. Students are required to abide by
the four school standards. Discipline
will be handed out in accordance to school policy for Second Grade.
CLOTHING:
Please keep in mind that we do have an optional
uniform for our students. Although it is
not mandatory, it is highly encouraged.
HOMEWORK:
The most important thing to remember about homework
is that it is 30-40 minutes a day that you and your child sit down and
work together. Homework should
be corrected by you and initialed by you. It is due the day after it is assigned. Any child who does not turn in homework on
time will be given a conduct slip. If
the homework is turned in the following day, the conduct slip will be torn
up.
PROGRESS REPORTS:
They will be sent home every nine weeks. Students’ work folders will be sent home
bi-weekly (usually on Friday). Please sign and return the following school day.
BIRTHDAYS:
You
are welcome to send in a special birthday treat for snack time. Please be sure it is easy to pass out and there
is enough for 21 students. Please
refrain from distributing birthday invitations in school. A student directory may be purchased from the
P.T.A.
Scholastic
Book/Software Clubs:
Scholastic
Book Orders will be sent home every two-four weeks. They offer a wide variety of reading subjects
and book prices start as low as $0.50!
Each order that is placed earns our class bonus points towards books and
other classroom materials.
SNACK BREAK: (
Because our instructional time is so valuable in Second
Grade, we have group snack. This
eliminates the need to interrupt class time for students to get up and get
their snack (snack comes to them). It
also eliminates the need to see/ask what another child has packed for snack and
the desire to trade snacks. For all
parents who do not have a child with
a food allergy, I ask that each of you sign up to send in at least 2 weeks’
worth of snack. This will ensure that
all students have snack each day. If you
can sign up for more than 2 weeks, that would be most appreciated. J
I can not stress enough that individual snacks work the best.
They take less time to pass out and each child gets the same amount of
food.
I also ask that you to send in a capped water
bottle for your child to use throughout the day.
FOOD
ALLERGIES:
If your child has a food allergy, I ask that you send in a daily snack for
him/her. This will help ensure that your
child does not accidentally consume a food that he/she is allergic to. For this reason, please do not feel the need
to send in snack for the class.
