At Blue Ridge Elementary we are Learning for Life...Everyday! We have adopted a plan called the Bobcat Way.
We will email periodic newsletters to keep you informed of the content that we are learning and what we will be moving towards. This newsletter will be also be posted to our class website, here. Please make sure you have also signed up for Class Dojo as I will regularly post class photos of the activities that we do.
EXTRA PRACTICE FOR MATH HOMEWORK WILL BE ASSIGNED MOST NIGHTS. THIS IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT IT WILL PROVIDE YOUR CHILD AN EXTRA OPPORTUNITY TO REINFORCE THE SKILLS WE WORK ON IN SCHOOL. THIS WILL ALSO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK ON WHAT WE ARE LEARNING IN MATH AND HOW YOUR CHILD IS UNDERSTANDING. I WILL POST THE HOMEWORK ANSWERS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM FOR YOUR CHILD TO REVIEW. THEY CAN ALWAYS ASK ME FOR HELP THE NEXT DAY IF THEY WERE HAVING DIFFICULTIES.
THERE WILL BE ONE ASSIGNED AT HOME SCIENCE PROJECT BETWEEN THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. I WILL ALSO OFFER AT HOME PROJECTS FOR EXTRA CREDIT IN SCIENCE EACH NINE WEEKS.
Assignments are broken into two categories, classwork (60% of grade) and tests (40%). At the middle of each 9 week grading period your child will receive a Progress Report.
I will typically give 1-2 classwork grades per week. At the end of each Unit there will be a test.
Grades will be available through the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus. I do my best to post grades to Parent Portal within one week. If a student is missing or has incomplete assignments, I will notify you through Remind. Please make sure that you have a parent portal account so that you receive these messages.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your student's grades.
Yes! Please email or call to schedule a conference with us. If you would like to schedule a conference online you can view my schedule and availability here.
