Mrs. Emerick’s Second Grade Class
Welcome, Parents!
Welcome to Second Grade! I will be going over
several important details about Second Grade.
If you have any questions during my presentation, please feel free to ask.
All About Me I grew up in a little town in Ohio. I have been in Florida for 10 years now
with my husband. I fly to Ohio every chance I get to visit with
my family.
My Experience I attended several colleges including Kent State
University (Associate’s Degree), The University of Akron (Bachelor’s Degree), and National University of California (Master’s Degree).
My degree is in Early Childhood Education. I am ESOL endorsed and I am Highly Qualified.
This is my 10th year teaching. I taught 6 years in Kindergarten and 4 years in Second.
I have been at Grassy Lake Elementary since it opened.
My Goals To give your child the academic and
social skills they need to be successful this year.
To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment.
To help your child develop a love of reading!

Behavior Chart I believe that all my students can behave
appropriately in our classroom. Our behavior chart is located on the closet door. Blue=Excellent Day, Green=Ready to Learn, Yellow=Warning, Orange=Time to Think, and Red=Parent Contact/Principal’s Office.
Please discuss your child’s behavior each day.
Rewards and Consequences

Students who make inappropriate behavior choices risk missing out on learning opportunities and privileges that we
have in class including Fun Friday.
Agenda The agenda is a great communication tool for us to
use. Agendas should be initialed by a parent each day
and returned the next day. (one OOPS! per week) Behavior color will be indicated in the agenda daily. Lost agendas cost $5 to replace. My goal is for us to work together for the best of your
child. Together we make a difference!

These subjects are not graded, but effort is still expected.
Activities are usually hands-on and real world oriented.
Attendance and Absences Your child should attend school EVERY day! School officially starts at 8:25 but students can come to class
starting at 8:05. Please let me know if your child will be checked out early. When your child is absent, be sure to write a note immediately
in order for the absence to be excused. On the note- add teacher’s name, child’s name, and grade.
Pre-Approved absences should be completed through the office when possible.
Children miss a LOT when they are absent. I will send home a make-up packet when a student returns.
UniformsDress affects student attitude and the learning environment of others and we expect GLES students to dress for success. The established dress code encourages a feeling of belonging and team spirit as well as pride in good grooming and appearance. Additionally, it ensures the safety and well-being of all students and promotes a positive learning environment.
Acceptable uniform clothing includes the following:
Tops: Knit polo style, collared shirts or turtlenecks in solid colors Official Grassy Lake T-shirts and sweatshirts
Bottoms: Shorts, pants, skirts, skorts, jumpers and culottes in navy, black and khaki. Jeans may be
worn on Fridays as we celebrate “Spirit Day”. Belts are preferred but optional.

If your child is to go home another way than he/she usually does, you MUST send in a note or call the front office or your child will go home the way that is listed on the transportation sheet that you filled out at the beginning of the year. All notes/emails should contain a phone number where you can be reached for verification.
According to the Student Code of Conduct, if your child is to ride a different bus home, you MUST send in a written note with a phone number where you can be reached for verification. Email will not be accepted.

Field Trips We have a couple of fun field trips planned for this
year!

Field Trips Leaving campus and attending a field trip is a privilege which
must be earned! If your child receives a discipline referral between the time
permission slips go home and the date of the field trip, your child may not be allowed to go on the field trip.
If your child loses a field trip due to a discipline referral, you may not receive a refund for the cost of the trip.
Younger/older siblings are not allowed on field trips. Information regarding field trips can be found on page 3 of
your child’s agenda.
Volunteers and Chaperones
If you would like to volunteer in the classroom or plan on chaperoning a trip, the appropriate paperwork needs to be filled out online!
The volunteer process will take awhile. Please be patient.
Miscellaneous We are collecting Box Tops for Education, among many other items,
which raise funds for the school. Please be on the “look out” for information about these items. Send them in as you can!
Conference Nights will be scheduled at the end of the first quarter. Pre-Pay Lunches and track spending at myschoolbucks.com Keep track of your child’s grades on eSembler. Birthday Celebrations are limited to the cafeteria and require advance
