Second Grade Update

Dear Second Grade Families, 

I hope this message finds you well! At this point, students are counting down the days until summer break. I can’t blame them! We are winding down an unusual, but wonderful year! 🙂

This week, we will enjoy our final Art Docent lesson for the year. Thank you Mrs. Ortiz for your creativity during remote learning and for now being with us on campus! The students will be excited to see you on Tuesday!

As I mentioned last week, we also have some special year-end events planned. On Thursday, June 10th, we will watch the 8th graders graduate at their Baccalaureate Mass. (We will be in our classroom watching due to Covid restrictions.) 

On Friday, June 11th, we will enjoy a walking field trip to Krusi Park. We will maintain all Covid protocols. Students may wear pants/shoes free dress with uniform tops. Diana’s mom has generously offered to donate a nut-free treat for the students to enjoy. Thank you!!

Our End of Year Celebration will take place on Monday, June 14th.  We have a variety of events planned to send off our almost third graders in style!

For the last day of school, St. Philip Neri traditionally has a “Moving Up Ceremony”. We will have our “Moving Up Ceremony” on Tuesday, June 15th in our classroom. Teachers will prepare a send-off speech for their classes and present it on this day. The school will send out a link so that all families can view these speeches.  This is our last day of school and please note, it is a 10:30 dismissal.  There is no Share and Care on this day.
Below is our weekly update:

• Book Return: I will need the following books returned on Monday, June 14th: Superkids Reader (not workbook) and all Book Club books (Zapato Power or The First Case).
• Dates to remember:
  • June 8th: PTG end of year event
  • June 11th: Walking field trip to Krusi Park – Pants/shoes free dress with uniform top
