Greetings Second Grade Families!
         I am getting excited for a new year at Academy School and working with all of you.  Just a reminder school starts on August 29. All students should go straight out to the playground with their backpacks, I will meet them out there for the first few days and we will walk in together as a class. Please do not send your children directly into the classroom as they can not be in there without an adult and I will be doing a head count outside and wait for all students to arrive.
Please join us for the Meet and Greet at 2pm on Monday August 28th.
I look forward to seeing you all and staring the 2017-2018 school year!
Take care,
Liz Casarella
