Dear Parents,

Hello and welcome to Sacred Heart School. I am Mrs. Feeney, your child’s 2nd grade teacher. I am eager to meet you and your child soon!  I am writing to explain how to organize the supplies needed for each student to begin this school year prepared and ready to learn. (I hope you can get your shopping done before the last minute rush:)

After your purchasing is completed, please take out of the packaging any items which need opening. (glue sticks, scissors, red pens, dry erase markers, etc.) 

The following items go into the soft pencil case. 

A hard case will not fit in the desk in between the stacks of books.

3 sharpened pencils, 1 red pen, 1 pink eraser, scissors, 1 glue stick, and a small box of crayons.

The rest of the required supplies will be kept in the plastic shoe box which you have purchased.  Items such as markers, extra crayons, extra pencils, index cards, etc. can be put into that box and brought to our classroom on the first day of school.

Notebooks ~ please use a permanent marker to label each with your child’s first and last name and the following “subjects”. One notebook will be labeled DICTATION, the next will be JOURNAL, and the last EXTRA.

Folders ~ On the front of each folder, in permanent marker, please label each with your child’s first and last name, and the following “subjects”.
