Remind
Sweetwater teachers use the Remind app to communicate with parents.
See below for the code for you child's class.
Use the Remind app link to download the app.
Even if you signed up last year, your Remind account does NOT transfer to new teachers and classes. You must sign up again.
When creating your profile, please include your full name. Do not use your email address, nicknames, your child’s name, etc.
In middle school, you must sign up for EACH TEACHER your child has, not just their homeroom.
When creating your profile, please include your full name. Do not use your email address, nicknames, your child’s name, etc.
NOTE: If you are not listed in Synergy as having educational rights, we are not allowed to communicate with you, per district policy and FERPA regulations. Emergency contacts do not have educational rights unless specified by you with the school office.

Layers of Communication
In order to ensure that my parents are aware of assignments students are required to complete, I have several layers of communication in place.
Meet the Teacher - During Meet the Teacher, I give parents a brief overview of the homework, bell work, Remind, and reward system. A Google Slide Deck will be shown that explains the expectations in Language Arts, what the assignments are, and when they are due.
Student Agendas (For In Person Instruction Only) - I use stamps to stamp student's planners that indicate what the homework is, what assignments are due, when there is no school, etc.
Student Online Agenda- In addition to the student agendas, I also have information about the class posted on a Google Calendar. You can find the link above.
Remind - Remind is a an app I will use to send friendly reminders to parents for when weekly assignments are due and any other notifications parents might need.
Google Site - On my Google Site, I have an explanation of what the homework, WOW, and DOL is, including the DOL sentences and WOW words for the year. I also have an explanation of each unit that we will be covering, along with a link to the Arizona state standards.
ParentVue - Parents have the ability to view their child's grades online, anytime. Parents must go to the office and ask for their letter with their password. Letters will also be passed out during Curriculum Night.
Voicemail - I have for my voicemail recording, information that explains what the homework is and when weekly assignments are due.
Missing Work - If your child should not turn in a homework, WOW, or DOL assignment, the assignment will be included as missing on ParentVue.
Student Led Conferences - For conferences, we have student-led conferences where the student will show you their test scores, grades, what areas did they excel in, what areas do they need to improve in, and what goals they have chosen to improve.
Assignments posted on whiteboard (For In Person Instruction Only) - Assignments we are working on, what is due, the objective, assessment, directions, activity, question, and engagement strategies are all posted daily on the whiteboard for students to view.
Google Slide Deck - The objective, assessment, directions, activity, question, engagement strategies, and examples are all on the daily Google Slide Deck shown in class.
Google Classroom - All work, including due dates are posted in Google Classroom. Links are available in the Contact session and How to Access Google Classroom. We are completely paperless, so this is the place for students to access all of their work.
