Second Grade

Welcome to Second Grade!  We are proud to be a part of the Bethany Bunch.  Each grade level has its own unique mascot.  In second grade, we are the Brontosauruses.  Please take a few minutes to learn about the ins and outs of second grade by clicking on each tab below.  

 

Assessments and Conferences

Student Assessment

Students are assessed both formally and informally throughout the year.  In addition to daily assessments through teacher observation and student work, there are also three times a year where students are evaluated using nationally normed assessment.  These assessments will occur in August, January/December, and May and include testing with MAP, Amplify, and Individual Literacy tests.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher conferences  are held three times a year in October, February and May.  During these conferences, we will review your child’s growth using a portfolio report.  Report Cards will begin in second grade.

Parents may also request additional conferences on an as-needed basis.

Grade Level Volunteers

All parents should fill out the PTA volunteer form found at Bethanypta.org and register to volunteer through the Plano ISD website https://plano.voly.org/. To learn more about the registration process to become a volunteer, please go to the Plano ISD Volunteering and Partnering Website by clicking on this link. For the safety of our children, only those who have been vetted through Voly.Org will be able to enjoy volunteer opportunities. There are many ways you can volunteer here at Bethany.  We always appreciate classroom helpers/mentors, material helpers, field trip volunteers and PTA sponsored party planners/home room parents. You can read in the classroom, take things home, or volunteer in other areas of the building. One of the second grade teachers or a PTA volunteer will contact you about these opportunities once you have signed up and the volunteer registration has been completed.
