Welcome to Brassfield 2nd Grade!

Dear Families,

Welcome to 2nd Grade at BRES!  I will work diligently to create engaging lessons that promote higher level thinking. We must partner together to make this year a success.

I welcome your feedback and suggestions. If there are changes that are occurring in your child’s life, notify me as soon as possible so that I can understand the best way help your child. If your address or phone number changes, contact the office right away so that we have updated information. Working as a team ensures your child the best educational opportunity.

Communication is key. We all have busy family lives, but I want us to stay connected.
My email is
hpelletier@wcpss.net. My cell phone # will be made available. Here are some other ways that we can communicate this year. Look for upcoming details that contain passwords
                     - Class Dojo                - Class Blog/Newsletters
                     - SeeSaw                    - Homework Folder
                     - Survey Monkey          - Wednesday Folder  
                     - Sign-up Genius         - Conferences

Next Steps:

Gather School Supplies. We will share many supplies but individual journals, folders, and headphones are needed right away. A complete list of supplies is attached and can also be found on Brassfield’s website.

Come ready to learn. The new school year for Track 2 begins Monday July 9, 2018. As a reminder, the school day starts promptly at 9:15am. The outside modular door is unlocked for students as they arrive between 8:45am and 9:15am. Students are not allowed in the modular until after the first bell rings. If your child rides a bus, please visit www.wcpss.net/student-information for transportation details. It is very important that your child know how they are getting home, especially the first few days of a new school year.

Plan for Lunch. Lunchtime is each day from 11:50-12:20pm.  Feel free to join us after the first two weeks of school. Students will use their student id number for their lunch account. Please write this number on your check when adding money to their lunch account. To open and/or maintain your child’s lunch account go to https://www.myschoolbucks.com . Applications for free and reduced lunch can be found at www.wcpss.net. Click the bottom tab “School Meals”. Your child should know their number. If they do not, please send in a note, and I will send it home with your child.  

Attend Open House:  You are invited to attend Open House from 5:30-7:30pm Tuesday, July 18th. This is not an appropriate time for a private conference. Please schedule individual times with me if needed. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Register as a Volunteer. If you plan to volunteer in any capacity this year you MUST update your security clearance with WCPSS. This can be done in the Media center.  No parent will be allowed to go on field trips or help with student activities without this clearance.

Complete Informational Forms and Return ASAP. This is a very important step in case of emergencies.
