Welcome to Ms. Contegiacomo & Mrs. Duffy 2nd Grade Classroom!
Room: 32
We are looking forward to a year filled with excitement, fun, adventure, and lots of learning! Please check out our class page as it has important information to help start the year. We are going to have an AWESOME year!
5 Days a Week In-Person Learning
Starting Monday, March 1st begins 5 days a week in-person learning. Listed below is important information regarding and changes with our school day.
Health and Safety Protocols
The success of advancing to this stage in our reopening process requires all of us to do our part. The safety of our students and staff must come first and we must ALL remain vigilant in our health and safety protocols.
*Keep your children home if they are sick
*Keep your children home if anyone in your household has tested positive OR is experiencing COVID-compatible symptoms.
*Keep your children home if anyone in your household is awaiting a test result for COVID
*Remember to truthfully fill out your Daily COVID Health Screening Form for your child each day.Remember to contact your school nurse if anyone in your house has been exposed to COVID, has COVID-compatible symptoms, or is being tested.
CONSISTENCY OF INSTRUCTION IS IMPORTANT:
Students will be expected to attend every day, and to not flip between in-person instruction and synchronous instruction.
The only exception would be for in-person students who are ill or who should stay home due to quarantine. If a child is ill and able to participate, please notify your child’s teacher that your child will be learning synchronously from home, temporarily.
Snack/Grab and Go Lunches
One important change is that students will no longer eat lunch in school. Instead, we will be taking a 15 minute break which has been set up for a safe, socially distanced snack. The school district will be providing a “grab-and-go lunch” to students at the end of the day.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER AND A HEALTHY, FILLING SNACK EACH DAY
Please remember we are a nut free classroom.

What is Bucket Filling?
Actions or words that show that you care about someone. Saying or doing something kind. Giving someone a heartfelt smile. Using names with respect. Helping without being asked. Giving sincere compliments. Showing respect to others. There are hundreds of wonderful ways to fill buckets. The language of bucket filling has become synonymous with being kind and thoughtful. Your bucket will be filled when, at the close of each day, you reflect on the ways in which you have filled buckets.
