Snow Day Activities

2nd Grade Snow Day Activities

Dear 2nd Grade Families,

In the event that there is a snow/ice day, students throughout the district will be participating in virtual learning days so that we will not need to make up minutes/days at the end of the school year.  Below is a menu of things that your child can choose from to complete during the course of this snow/ice day. We encourage your child to pick 3-5 items to help make up the minutes lost from the regularly scheduled school day.  If you have questions or concerns about this new initiative, please contact either your teacher or principal.  

Happy learning from home,

2nd Grade Teachers
