Mr. Wilkins, Room 6
Welcome to Yamhill Carlton
Elementary second grade! I am excited and
looking forward to a wonderful year with your child at YCES.
Please read this information
carefully, as many of your questions about the upcoming school year will be addressed.
Items of interest to you may include the following:
Within your student’s backpack you will find the “first day of school”
envelope. Within the envelope you will
find a parent student handbook, year-long calendar, lunch assistance form and a
volunteer background check form. Please
read through the handbook with your student and sign the blue form. Please also turn in the green Chromebook
agreement form. Much of the work we are
doing in class will be supported and enhanced by the use of Chromebook. Thank
you as well for looking through the student profile and updated phone numbers,
addresses and other important information.
TO DO: Once you’ve read through the student profile,
sign the back page and return to the teacher within the envelope.
You
are welcomed to send a refillable water bottle to use during the week. We have found that
individual water bottles for students result in less disruption during our
learning time. Water bottles will be
sent home each Friday to be washed and returned.
TO DO: Please label your
child’s water bottle with a first name with a permanent marker.
We
will be going outside to play in many different types of weather.
TO DO: Please have your second grader dress
accordingly. Please label all coats, sweaters, jackets and backpacks.
We
love to celebrate birthdays and are happy
to celebrate if you wish to send a special snack for everyone. Due to district policy all snacks/treats
shared in class need to be store bought.
Please email me to let me know in advance if you are going to send in a
snack.
If
your child’s transportation routine will be
different on a certain day, please send a signed note each day stating the
change. Also, it’s a good idea to email
me and the YCES office with those details.
If a note is not provided,
we will need to follow your child’s usual
routine.
Parent
Help (Volunteering)
|
Parents are an essential part of their children’s success in
school and I look forward to your assistance throughout the year. I would like to take the first several weeks
to get to know your child, assess our classroom needs for the year, and develop
a volunteer schedule based one the needs for the students and the scheduled activities.
TO DO: Please complete and
return the volunteer background check.
Email me with a desired time/level of commitment. We have needs for field trips, parties, and
weekly time slots. We will start with
the weekly/ biweekly help starting in October.
If you need to contact me,
please feel free to call me before or after school hours at (503) 852-7161,
send an email to wilkinsj@ycschools.org
or send a note with your child. I will
get back to you as soon as possible.
Second
graders will start optional homework as
soon as our routines and procedures have been established. I will send you detailed information for
reading and math as time gets closer.
Back
and Forth folders will be coming home every Thursday (except our first week.)
TO DO: Please remove and
read information each Thursday and return the folder the next day. Watch for important papers that may need to
be signed and returned to the school.
I look forward to a super school year with your child!!
