Warm Clothes:
We do go out to recess if the temperature is above freezing.  Please be sure to send your child in a jacket with a working zipper, with gloves or mittens, and with a hat or hood.  In lieu of this… we have lots of LOST & FOUND items piling up each day.  If you are missing an item, please visit the school to check our lost and found bins!  Please remember to label jackets, gloves, scarves, hats, and other items with your son or daughter’s name.

Valentine’s Day Celebration:
Students may bring Valentine’s Day cards to school to distribute to the class on February 14th.  Please remember to include all students if your son or daughter is going to bring in Valentine’s Day cards.
IMPORTANT NOTE Valentine’s Day cards may not include any candy items.   Any cards sent in to school with candy will be sent back home.  I have attached a classroom list to this newsletter for your convenience.

CogAt Testing
The time is here for CogAt testing. Our class will be testing on February 6th and February 7th. Please make sure your child goes to bed early and eats a good breakfast on testing days.

Black History Month
We will be making a Civil Rights Quilt along with other 2nd grade classes. Each student will be illustrating a famous quote from a famous African American. This will be done in school and displayed in the 2nd grade hallway.

School Closings:  Winter is here!  Check the Loudoun County Public Schools web site or the local television and radio stations for school closings or delays.  Check with the main office if you have any questions before the winter weather is upon us!


Thank you for your continued support!
As always feel free to e-mail me at Courtney.allen@lcps.org or call Pinebrook if you have any concerns.

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Mrs. Allen
