2B - Mrs. Oubre & Mrs. Sperier
*A very big thank you for all the special notes and gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week! It is a privilege to work with such amazing children and their parents.

*The Living Rosary is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23. Second graders will wear their First Eucharist outfits to school that day and report directly to the classroom. After the Living Rosary, students will change into their regular school uniform. Please send their uniform, socks, and shoes in a bag labeled with their name. Parents may stay to help with the changing of clothes after the rosary.

*Field Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 24. Your child will wear a colored shirt that day, along with uniform bottoms or jumpers. A note went home on Friday listing your child's team color.

*I will not be in the classroom on Thursday due to my daughter's graduation. Please send any transportation changes with your child that day, as my sub will not be able to access email. Thanks!

*When your child is absent or checking out early, please send me an email so that I may prepare any missed assignments for them. Students are expected to have completed any missed work and tests upon their return, unless other arrangements have been made. Your cooperation with this is very much appreciated and will help your child tremendously!
School Mass
The students will be participating in a school wide Mass on Friday, May 25. Please make sure your child is wearing their dress uniform (long pants for boys and blouses with jumpers for girls). A donation to the Food Bank is always appreciated on Mass days.
Test Folders
Test folders will go home with your child on Monday. After reviewing the work, please sign and return the folder by Wednesday.
Red Homework Notebooks and Red Folders
Each day, your child will be bringing home their red homework notebook and red folder. The notebook contains the homework assignments from each of their classes. The red folder contains notes and homework assignments that need to be returned to school. Please make sure to review this with your child each night and send both the notebook and folder back each morning.
