approximately 20 minutes of homework each night. Please help your child by:
· Guiding your child to check the agenda each night to see what needs to be done. Encourage neat handwriting and praise their organization.
· Checking your child’s homework and help them make corrections.

· Emails work best. There is a link on the Liberty website. It is very unusual for an answer to take longer than 24 hours. I check email before and after school.
· Please do NOT write a note in your child’s agenda. I will rarely see it there.
· It is your child’s responsibility unpack papers and homework from their folders. I do not check folders. Remind your student to put papers for the school in my basket.
· If your child is going home a different way than usual, please send a note in the morning or call the school.
· Thursday folders are out only. Please put all forms or notes in the take home folder.
Reaching Me

What I need from YOU· Review and initial your child’s behavior chart with them each
night.· Check homework each night. · Contact me with your questions.· Return papers that need your signature ASAP. · Sign up for a conference and let me know as it gets closer if
the time will no longer work for you.· Let me know if there are any household changes that may
affect your child or their learning. Ms. Scott, our school counselor, is an excellent resource.
· Please send money in an envelope marked with your child’s name, teacher, and purpose (i.e. lunch money, book order, etc.)
· Small and large baggies

Absences· If your child is sick, please call the absentee hotline to
report their absence.· If your child is absent more than 3 days, you may request
that the missed work be gathered and left in the office for you to pick up. It is not always possible to provide assignments before an absence.
· The second grade team of teachers prides itself on a creative approach to teaching. Although this creativity makes it very fun when your children are school, it also means that they will miss a lot of learning when they are gone. Creative class projects are not something we can send home to be made up. Please keep your sick children home but get them back to us as soon as you can!
