Announcements
Reminder: iPads
TCE 2nd graders should come to school each day with their iPad fully charged. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad software is up to date (settings--> general --> software update). 
Reminder: Snack
We have a short snack time each day while we continue to work. 2nd graders do not each lunch until 12:00 PM each day, so it's important that they have healthy and nutritious snacks each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Thank you for your help!
Sack Summer Hunger
Reminder: SmartWatches
We have noticed that we have several students that have begun wearing smartwatches to school, so we want to take a minute to be clear about expectations for these devices.
Students may wear their smartwatches to school, but they may not use them to text, email, or call ANYONE during the day. (The same rule applies to their iPads.) This includes parents. Please help us in reinforcing this expectation. If you need to get in touch with your son/daughter during the day, please email your child's teacher or call the front office. Smartwatches MAY be used AFTER school for communicating with your child that may be walking, biking, etc.
We have talked about these expectations with the students. We've let them know that if they are using their smartwatch to communicate, they will receive one warning. After that one warning, they will lose the privilege of wearing their smartwatches during the day and will have to keep them in their backpacks.
Thank you for your support!
