Mrs. McKermitt's Second Grade/Room 31

Welcome to Room 31!  Second grade is such an exciting grade to teach.  The chidren are anxious to make their First Holy Communion and they are becoming much more independent.  I look forward to a new year with new friends and can't wait to get back into a classroom routine.

*From the T.E.A.M. committee:

 

Dear Parents,

 

This past Friday we kicked off this years’ T.E.A.M. initiative.  We are excited to continue to bring and demonstrate our school spirit for St. Juliana.

 

Last year, each student received a T-shirt of their T.E.A.M. color which is expected to be worn at all of our T.E.A.M. events.  We understand that some shirts might have been misplaced or the student outgrew their shirt. Also, we have heard that some of the shirts might be too oversized.  When we ordered the shirts last summer we hoped that those shirts would last a few years, especially for the younger students.  

 

Each year, the school will provide a free T.E.A.M.shirt to the students in Kindergarten and those students that are new to the  school.    We ask that you fill out the attached link to the Google Form so we can provide your student with the correct size. 

 

For those families who would like a replacement shirt, please fill out the Google Form and order your students T.E.A.M. shirt.  There is a $10 fee for each shirt.  This can be paid in cash or a check made out to St. Juliana.  After you fill out the Google Form, send your payment to your child’s homeroom teacher.  Be sure to have your child’s name and homeroom on the envelope.  

 

The window to order a T.E.A.M. shirt is from Monday, Oct. 6th until Friday, October 17th.  The window will close at 7pm on the 17th.  At that time we will order the shirts and they will be passed out as soon as they arrive.  Your T.E.A.M. shirt order will not be processed until the fee is collected. 

 

We appreciate your support and look forward to having another successful year of T.E.A.M.

 

Sincerely,

The T.E.A.M. Committee.
