Enhanced Learning & Achievement
Expectations

From the Teachers:
In second grade, we try to be fair, respectful, and responsible. We are serious about learning, but we also know how to have lots of fun! Students are expected to be responsible, respectful, and ready to engage in class. They need to be fluent in basic addition and subtraction math facts and reading skills. Our goal is to build on previous knowledge and learn something new every day.
