Welcome to Second Grade! My name is Mrs. Chavis, and I will be your child’s teacher this school year. I am so excited to have your child in my class! I am looking forward to a great year. We will learn a lot and have a good time while doing so. I look forward to working with your child and the opportunity to get to know you as well. Together we can make this school year a positive influence in your child’s life! 

     The school day begins at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m. Students will not be allowed to enter the building until 7:45 a.m.  Students will not be dismissed through the front office after 2:45 p.m.  Breakfast will begin at 7:45 a.m. each morning in the cafeteria. Please make an extra effort to see that your child gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast at home or school, and arrives on time. Research shows that this can have a positive effect on academic success, which is exactly what we want for our students!                  

     I invite you to be an active part of your child’s education. You can do this by volunteering your time and talents as a school volunteer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. You may send a note, give me a call at 706-796-4955, or get in touch with me via email. My email address is chaviar@richmond.k12.ga.us. Also, be sure to check out the Barton Chapel website (https://www.rcboe.org/bartonchapel) often for current information in regards to our school wide events. With your support, we can make this a productive and successful year for all of us. I look forward to meeting you!
