WELCOME: I am excited about our first week in second grade and look forward to all
the great learning we have ahead of us. Thank you for sharing your child and being a
part of our Lincoln School Family.

MORNING CAR RIDER DROP-OFF/PICK-UPIt is very important that these expectations are followed closely.  Please read through the
directions provided by Mrs. Knuth in her blog from August 23rd, as it highlights the drop-off and pick-up procedures that must be
followed.  If you need more time with your student or arrive early, please do not take up
staff parking or form a line that blocks staff parking.  Instead, please, move to one of the
other suggested areas.  Finally, if your child is having breakfast, they will go straight to the
lunch room between 8:10-8:30 to eat. Pick-up is similar. Thank you for being helpful with
this.

ADDITIONAL ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL INFO: This week, teachers will be on the
playground blacktop waiting to greet students and escort them into the building.  At the
end of the day, Mrs. Lawrence or myself will take walkers and car riders out the west door
(playground door) to the pick up area or to the sidewalk outside the fence to meet their
grown ups.  Bus riders will be escorted by the other teacher to the buses at the front of the
building.

END OF DAY PLAN: Please make sure your child knows your family's after-school plan.
If a bus rider, which bus does your child ride?
If a walker, is someone meeting him or her at a designated spot?
Car riders will follow the protocol shared by Mrs. Knuth.  
Thank you for helping your child feel confident and safe with your after-school plan.

SNACK TIME:  We will have a snack every morning around 10:00. This will be a
working snack so please send healthy, easy to eat food. If it requires a spoon, please
include that. I will have pretzels available if your child does not have anything to eat.
Finally due to our carpet, only water will be permitted in water bottles.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES: You are welcome to send in school supplies throughout the week.

Recess / Lunch Schedule:  
10:10 AM Recess        
11:30 - 11:55 Lunch Recess
11:55 - 12:20 Lunch 
1:44 - 2:00 PM Recess

GET TO KNOW YOU SURVEY: Please be sure to complete the Get To Know You
Survey.  The information that it provides is helpful in ensuring your child receives the
best support possible this school year.   Thank you for your time!
                      
NIGHTLY READING:  Students are expected to read every night.  Students are
expected to read for 10 minutes each night this week.   If you have been reading
throughout the summer and your child's reading stamina is greater than 10 minutes,
please continue your routine.  The goal for second grade is for all children to read
independently for a minimum of 20 minutes.  They should be able to read fluently,
retell the information, and answer a variety of questions accurately at their reading level.
