General Classroom/Ryan
Information
Transportation/Bus Procedures
• Please fill out the transportation form on
the front table.
• Our school will have teachers on the bus
for the first week of school so kids will
probably be getting home a little later than
usual – please don’t worry! We are making
sure the right kids are on the right bus
getting to the right place.
• If your child is a bus rider, please send
them on the bus the first day of school! We
can’t help them get home safely on the bus
if they’re not there!
First Day of School
• On Monday, students should line
up on the basketball courts facing
the parking lot. There will be a
cone or a card with our classroom
number on it to show the kids
where to line up. We’ll walk into
the building together.
Specials Schedule
• We have a rotating 6 day specials
schedule which includes music, p.e.,
library and the computer lab.
• Monday (the first day of school) is a
Day 2
• Day 1 – music
Day 2 – library
Day 3 – p.e.
Day 4 - music
Day 5 – computers Day 6 – p.e.
• We go to specials from 2:00 – 2:30.
Lunch
• We go to lunch from 11:18 – 11:58
• Students play first and then eat
• If your child eats school lunch, please
go down to the cafeteria and put
money on their lunch account. The
cafeteria staff will send notes home
when the account is low and you can
send in money with your child or pay
online at www.mylunchmoney.com
Homework
• We will not be sending home homework the
first week of school, we will practice in
class.
• After the first week, I will send all the
homework for the week home on Monday.
The directions are on the front followed by
daily pages.
• Homework pages are due daily, i.e., we
check Monday homework on Tuesday
morning.
• We will check homework daily in class
(except Monday) and then send the whole
packet back home on Fridays.
Responsibility
• One of my important jobs as a second
grade teacher is to help students
become
more
responsible
and
independent. Because of this, students
will not be calling home if they forget
homework, library books, p.e. shoes,
etc. Thank you so much for helping
your child learn the importance of
responsibility.
• The consequence of forgetting or not
completing homework will be the loss
of recess and unfinished homework
will be completed at that time.
Classroom Discipline
Parents, teachers, and students working
together is the best way to help a child
succeed.
• We have classroom agreements posted in
the classroom.

Attentive Listening
Mutual Respect
The Right to Pass
• Students not following rules will discuss
situation with teacher, or receive a warning,
or may lose 5 minutes of recess if behavior
doesn’t improve.
• Red Slips
– Filled out and sent home for parent signature
– Consequence listed on slip that goes home.
Behavior Ladder
• Every afternoon, the children will
reflect about their behavior on their
behavior ladder.
• This goes home every night in their
homework folder for a parent
signature.
Supplies
• We supply all materials students need for
school, however, we do have an optional
supply list.
• These are the items off that list we can
really use in room 14:

Classroom Odds and Ends
• Children are allowed to bring in a
snack to eat during our morning
literacy block. Please make sure it’s a
healthy snack and not too messy.
Please don’t send candy for snack or
anything your child can’t open by
themselves.
• Please have your child bring a daily
water bottle with their name clearly
marked. This is very important during
our hot times of the year.
Contacting me
• Please contact me with any concerns,
questions, or joys you or your child
may have.
• The best way to contact me is through
email:
[email protected]
but I’m also available by phone 2243244 or you can always send in a note.
• I’m also happy to meet with you to
discuss any issues. Please contact me
to set up an appointment.
Going Green
• Our school is going green this year in an
effort to reduce paper consumption and
streamline communication.
• I would like to have an accurate email list so
I’m asking all parents to email me by the
first day of school so that I can create that
list. Please make sure that it is an email that
you use and check often.
• My weekly newsletters will be delivered
electronically via our school website, which
is accessed off of the Chandler district
website. Please let me know if you do not
have internet access and need a hard copy.
• I will also have the homework up on the
website, but this will still be sent home with
students weekly.
Ryan Website
• The best way to get information about our
classroom, the PTO, the principal, special areas,
etc., is to use our school website:
ww2.chandler.k12.az.us/chandlerschools
• Once you’re on the website, choose Ryan from
the drop down menu at the top of the page and
you will be on our school site. Choose me from
the teacher list and that’s where you’ll find our
classroom info.
• If you register for e-alerts, you will be notified
by email every time I update the page. You can
register here at my student computers, in the
computer lab, or at home.
