We look forward to working with your children this year! We hope that we can work together in making sure their transition to middle school in these unusual times to is smooth, productive and fun. Parent support in this process is an important element.
During the school year there are times when we will view movies and documentaries in the classroom. Occasionally, a movie/documentary might be rated PG. With careful teacher screening and selection, we feel that the movies we show in class meet our academic needs and support our curriculum. Please contact either of us via e-mail, if this is a problem. If we do not hear from you then we will assume that your child has your permission to view teacher-approved movies.
Students have a CUSD Google account set up for them already. We will be sure to teach them all the different features of Google we will be using as part of our curriculum.
Students will need to use the same username and password to set up a Edmodo, Newsela and NoRedInk account, which will be used very often this year. Signing up for these websites using the same username and password will be much easier for your child to manage. We will also be assigning each student a SeeSaw account.
