Welcome to Second Grade
With Mrs. Bradford
I am pleased to be teaching your child and look forward to a wonderful year. I will focus on providing a safe environment for each student in our class so appropriate learning may take place. As a class, we will work to form a community based on kindness and respect. I realize every student is a unique individual and will approach teaching with this in mind. We will work together as a class to establish a life-long love of learning.
Classroom Management: I approach classroom management from a positive, proactive direction. Our class will follow a daily routine and students will be expected to follow the procedures which will be discussed and practiced in our classroom daily. Kindness and respect will be our focus.

Grading: Each student will be evaluated on mastery of skills through the district-wide grading system based on the school district DESK standards.
Absences: Absences should be kept to a minimum and please make sure your child arrives at school on time. Students line up at the south-east corner of the building and will come inside when the first bell rings at 8:50 a.m. If your child is not able to come to school, please call the school attendance line by 9:15 a.m. at 801-402-3356.
Contact Information: Good communication between home and school is essential. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child. I check my email often and you may text me using the Remind app. Also, check out the school website at www.davis.k12.ut.us/131.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
