Dear Families, Welcome to 2nd Grade! Second Grade is going to be wonderful! I am so excited to share ideas and fun times together! You can find important general notes about routines in/out of our classroom by clicking on "Parent Notes" at the top of this page. The "STAR Cardinal Choices" tab, below "Parent Notes", highlights our STAR Cardinal classroom rules and reward system in support of our school-wide PBIS program. The "Star of the Week" tab above tells how you will shine as an important member of our class! On this main page, I will post important upcoming events, class news, and our Star of the Week.
Please feel free to call or email me any time. We can also communicate through Remind as I will be posting class reminders there as needed. I welcome all questions, concerns, ideas, and feedback that affect your child in our classroom. My email is [email protected] & my phone extension @CHC is 4017. I will send a note, email, or make a phone call if I feel that your child is not progressing as expected.
I look forward to all of us being a team together, and promise my best effort in helping the students learn and grow!
-Mrs. Maurer:)
