Here you will find classroom notices just for parents regarding field trips, announcements, and special posts on how to help your child be successful this year.
We found that having parents know what is taught in class greatly increases the outcome for their child. Feel free to print and attach to the front of your refrigerator for quick reference. Just quizzing on the vocabulary before dinner will help.

Tips for Parents and Guardians
Google Classroom is a web-based platform that facilitates communication between teachers and students by allowing educators to post assignments, share resources, and provide feedback on student work. While you do not have direct access to Google Classroom, you can support your children's learning by reviewing course content together and discussing upcoming assignments. Additionally, you can receive Guardian Summaries, which are email reports detailing missing and upcoming work, as well as recent class activities. To receive these summaries, you should request an invitation from your child's homeroom teacher and configure your preferences upon receipt.
