Welcome to the 20/21 school year. I am excited to be your teacher this year! As you know, school is starting out in full Distance Learning mode. Most of our instruction and activities will be digital. Please contact the school if you need a laptop. I look forward to meeting you all on Monday, August 10th on Zoom. Please email me with your best email contact so I can email you the Zoom meeting link and Google Classroom code.

I will be using Remind to communicate frequently. Please email me if you have not received your code.

Supplies

• Computer with internet access -- Note: a phone is NOT sufficient to complete the work.

• Webcam and Microphone -- Students are required to log in with video for their lessons. All school laptops have a built in webcam and mic.

• Headphones or Earbuds

• Notebooks (1 for language arts and 1 for social studies)

• Pencil, Eraser, and pens

• Quiet Work Space -- It is crucial that students have a designated place to work in the house that is quiet and free from distractions (including toys, games, or even other siblings!). Try to choose a location that is close to your internet router, so they may have a good internet signal for virtual meetings.
