Classroom Expectations

Please be prepared to come into our classroom with a good attitude, ready to learn, and excited to act like Jesus! Students in second grade are expected to gain independence throughout the school year by being responsible for themselves and their belongings. In second grade students will be responsible for writing down their homework in their assignment notebooks, completing assignments, and returning quality work to school in their green folders. Students should also treat all school property, such as class Chromebooks with the utmost respect. In addition, we expect each student to be kind and patient when working with other students and school staff. Following these expectations will help to create a positive classroom climate, in which we are strong in our faith, academics, and friendships.
