Attention Families,
     Our back to school night has been rescheduled for Thursday September 28th! The barbecue will begin at 5 pm outside of the school (please bring a dish to share) and the classroom presentations will be at 6:10 and 6:30. Hope to see you there!

Hello 2nd grade families!
     We are well into our second week of school and continue working on getting our routines down.  I just wanted to remind you of a couple important dates in September!
September 14 is School Picture day
September 21 is back to school night. I hope to see you all there.

As always, please make sure your child is reading every night and getting enough sleep to get them through the day! I look forward to seeing you all on the 21st!

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
