Rock County Public Schools

Welcome to 2nd Grade

Second grade is a time for growth and increasing independence. Our second-grade classroom is built on structure and consistency. We have flexible seating in 2nd grade. Flexible seating does not take away structure. Flexible seating gives students the opportunity to be comfortable where they are sitting. In turn, they are open to learning and listening. Students are still expected to follow the rules of the classroom.

Rules

Students are expected to be respectful and follow the rules. We have 5 important classroom rules: 1 – Listen when someone is talking. 2- Follow directions the first time they are given. 3- Treat everyone with kindness and respect. 4- Take care of our school and classroom. 5- Work and play safely and quietly.

Student of the Week

Throughout the year, your child will be assigned student of the week.

While your child is the student of the Week, each day of the week will consist of an exciting event or activity to honor him or her. You can click here to view the daily events for your child's week.

Birthdays
Birthdays are special for your child. Birthday treats can be brought to share, however, check in advance to avoid any food allergy issues.

Book Orders
A few times throughout the school year, I will send home Scholastic Book Club flyers for you and your child to look over. They offer wonderful books at reduced prices. Information on how to order and a code to our classroom account will be sent home with the flyers.

Snacks
The school will provide a healthy snack each day along with white or chocolate milk after 10:00 recess. If your child has any food allergies, please let us know so we can avoid any allergens. (The milk does need to be paid for. Please contact the grade school office with any questions about milk money.)

Parties and Celebrations
We will have class celebrations for holidays throughout the year and the 100th day of school.

2nd Grade Folders
Your child will use his or her 2nd grade folder to carry papers to and from school. Please be sure to look through their folder daily and empty it in the evenings.

Grading System

Report cards will be issued every nine weeks.
