We are absolutely hoping remote instruction will not have to occur this school year as we know kids learn best in-person but please check back on this page for relevant information if the need does arise.
No matter what factors may be out of our control, we always have the ability to control our responses and attitudes about any situation and will continue to provide high-quality learning experiences and loads of fun!
BE ON TIME! Only students will be allowed into the Google Meets sessions and participate in our live instruction. Uncle Tony and your pet dogs, cats, snakes, etc are going to have to enroll in their own 5th grade classes.
ALL parent communication to teachers during remote instruction must be via email, phone call, or SCHEDULED virtual meetings. We want to avoid interrupting instruction during the limited time we have together for our live instruction.
KEEP A ROUTINE! Get up everyday at the same time like you would any school day and be sure you have already had breakfast, are dressed appropriately for school, and ready to go
Arrive at your Zoom class period on time!
BE CONSISTENT! Set up a work area (not a bed) where you will meet us each day to work
Find an area free of distractions or create your own classroom with a tri-fold like the one shared in our classroom handbook. Have some fun with it and be sure your workspace has all of the materials you need
Eating is NOT allowed during class
NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES BESIDES YOUR CHROMEBOOK! Phones, televisions, music, and other distractions must be off so we may respect our time together during live sessions
These optional portable classrooms are a fun way for your student to design and personalize their own workspace. They can be easily stored away for the next day. PLEASE place all classroom materials, folders, backpacks, etc in the same place every day after school. This will be like your locker at home! It will help prevent you from losing your work and make sure we always have all materials and come prepared for class.
We do have very different expectations than 4th grade because our job this year is to prepare you for middle school!!
