Megan Valasek

Welcome to 2nd Grade!

Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Valasek, and I am thrilled to be your child’s 2nd-grade teacher this year.

I have a Master’s in Education and Technology, as well as a teaching credential from Azusa Pacific University. I grew up and have lived in Rancho Cucamonga all my life, and I am delighted to now be teaching in my hometown. I am happily married, and in my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends.

My goals and hopes for this year are to create an environment where students feel safe, welcomed, and supported. I aim to build a classroom community that feels like home, where every student can thrive and grow.

Communication is Key!

In August, all Etiwanda families will receive a message to get connected to a Rooms account. This message will include a unique link for your child. Please complete this one-time registration process to start using the Rooms two-way communication platform. If you have already registered last year, there is no need to complete this process again as it carries over into the 24/25 school year. You can also reach me directly at megan_valasek@etiwanda.org. For more details, please refer to the Rooms Flyer.

Newsletter

I will send home a newsletter each week. The newsletter will be sent on our new app called "Rooms." I usually post it on Sunday morning for the upcoming week...so be sure to look for that!

Homework

Every week your child will receive a homework packet. The packet is due on Fridays.
There are assignments to do every day but feel free to do them in any order you and your child choose.
You will typically see a reading comprehension page, spelling list, vocabulary list and
math worksheets.

In addition to this homework packet, your child needs to read each school night for approximately
20 minutes.

Parents have homework too! Please check your child's homework folder and their returned work.
Please also check my website and Rooms for the weekly newsletter and important announcements.
