Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2020 – 2021 school year! It is hard to believe that summer has passed so quickly, and it is time for your child to go back to school now, as a 5th grader. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you in person once that time comes. For now, all classes will be held on Zoom.
Your child will have two classroom teachers:
Mrs. Williams teaches math and science.
Mrs. Holmes teaches ELA and social studies
Our first distance learning class will start at 8:30AM on Monday, August 10, 2020. Here is the Zoom meeting information:

We sent out Remind invitations yesterday. This is a communication tool to help us keep you informed. If you did not receive an invitation, please email me, and I will help you set it up.
Starting on Monday, to make the Distance Learning experience more enjoyable please help your 5th grader to join our google classroom.
Go to classroom.google.com
Use your child’s school ID email to login. (9800…@gcccharters.org) Password: Capital Initials and Birthday (SK030386) Initials, Month, Day, Year last two digits) No spaces.
Find the + sign on the upper left corner, click on “Join a class”.

You did it! Welcome to our google classroom!
If you are having difficulty joining the google classroom, email me with your child’s first and last name, and I will assist you.
Most of you have already purchased helpful school supplies for your child. The following are items that would be particularly helpful for our 5th graders:
Computer, tablet, or laptop (a phone is not sufficient)
Internet access
A working webcam (most laptops have a built-in camera)
Paper/notebook
Pencils & pens
Computer mouse
Computer-compatible headphones with a microphone
Quiet workspace
It will be a fun, exciting, and challenging year. Your support and guidance at home is critical for your child’s success. Please establish a time and an area at home for your child where he/she can study. We will work to teach students how to be respectful, responsible, have good study skills, and increase their motivation to learn. With your support, we can achieve great results in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams & Mrs. Holmes
There are videos and extra practice for everything we study in class on your student's Google Classroom account to help you study at home. Be sure to check there often!
