Q:  What is curriculum night?

A: Curriculum Nights are held throughout the school year to enable teachers to inform parents about the standards and skills students are learning.  Second Grade chooses a theme for each curriculum night.  For example, the focus of the up coming curriculum night is writing.  We will explain what is expected for your child to learn and be able to do to master second grade writing standards.  We also will discuss any additional new or important information that may impact you or your child.

Q:  Is parent involvement important?

A: Yes!  Research shows that students with involved parents do better in school.
