ClassDojo
This year we are using ClassDojo to encourage important skills, like working hard, participating, and kindness. We'll also use it to communicate with you. We will use it to share messages, updates, and photos from the class. It's the easiest way for you to see how your child is doing at school and to get in touch with us. We would love all families to join us and sign up for ClassDojo! You can use it on any device; it is a simple, free mobile app for iOS and Android, and can also be used from a computer at: www.classdojo.com. We have already sent out an email invite. If you missed it, click on your child's homeroom team Invite below. You can add your cell phone number to your account for instant messaging as well!

Birthday Procedures
Yes, we celebrate birthdays in 5th grade. Your child's teacher will have a little something for your child and you may choose to order a special treat for the class to enjoy from the school cafeteria. We do not permit parents to attend at this time.
If you wish to order a special treat for your child's birthday, please print and complete the above form. Send this back in an envelope addressed to the GIS cafeteria.
