September Newsletter
Grade 2
Tuesday, September 4, 2018
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back to another school year! My name is Rosetta Vena
and I am very excited to welcome your child to grade 2 at
St. Rita School. The grade 2 French program will be taught
by Marie Claire Tchinkou-Sibafeu.
I am looking forward to getting to know your child during
this time. I look forward to working with you to develop activities
that will best suit your child’s needs. My personal objectives are
to create a welcoming atmosphere for your child to feel safe,
so that he/she may grow as an individual, continue to gain
self –confidence and develop a love for learning.
Today your child received an agenda ($10 fee). Please take the
time to read the opening pages of the agenda to inform you of
the school wide policies and procedures that are in place at
St. Rita. That is your only homework for the evening. ☺
It is very important to keep lines of communication open.
I welcome you to add notes or concerns in the agenda.
I will check and initial agenda’s on a daily basis.
- Please check out our classroom blog. You could access our class blog from our school website by simply clicking on my name. I encourage you to visit the site to check out the interesting things your child is discovering each day.
- Please remember to check any packages to ensure that there are no traces of nuts in foods being sent to school.
- Please label any of your child’s clothing that is removable and has the possibility of getting lost.
- Your child will require a pair of indoor shoes that will remain at school.
- The school will be providing the students with materials required for class. Feel free to provide your child with a pencil case with pencils, a sharpener, scissors and pencil crayons if they wish.
- Please send a pair of head/earphones to school for your child. Students will require them when using the chromebooks. I will label them and place them in a ziploc bag for the year.
