Announcements

Reminders from your Second Grade Teachers

*iPads - Please remember to send your child's iPad each day to school fully charged. 

*Headphones - Please check with your child that they have working headphones/earbuds at school. Learners have many times when they are watching a video or can listen to directions and/or books and apps that need audio. Thank you so much for your help with this!

*Snack - We have a short snack time each day. It is important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack you send be completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. 


A Note from Mrs. Trueblood

Dallas Zoo Field Trip

Second grade will be traveling to the Dallas Zoo for our grade level field trip on Thursday, May 5th. We will be leaving the school around 9:00 am and returning around 2:00 pm. Students should plan on packing a paper sack lunch that does not need to be refrigerated and disposable drink to throw away (no glass containers) or buy a sack lunch from the cafeteria on the day of the field trip. Your child will need to wear their gray grade-level t-shirt or another TCE shirt would be appreciated. More details and information for parents and chaperones will be sent out closer to the dates of our field trip! Thank you for turning in all of the needed forms and fees and thank you to the parents/caregivers that have volunteered to chaperone!!
