Grade 2 Notes and News:

-Optional Parent-Teacher Conferences: 

Spring Parent-Teacher conferences are coming up on Thurs. April 15th & Fri. April 16th. As in the fall, these will be held via Zoom and will be 20 min or shorter, depending on need  These are optional for students in grades K-8 but required for preschool age.   If you have a concern that you would like to discuss, or I have reached out indicating a need to touch base, please use this link to book a conference time.  https://hartley-secondgrade.youcanbook.me/

-Spring Break:     *Please let me know if your child will be learning from home for quarantine time after Spring Break. Thank you!

Hope families who travel out of state during spring break have the following options:

• Upon return home, quarantine for 14 days
• Upon return home, quarantine and take a COVID-19 test between days 3-5; if test is negative and there are no COVID symptoms, quarantine will end after 7 days
• Vaccinated individuals do not need to quarantine
