Welcome to my Google Site. My name is Mr. Ariosto and I will be teaching 7th Grade Religion and ELA. This is my 19th year of teaching in the elementary education system for The Archdiocese of Philadelphia. I spent 12 years teaching 6th and 7th Grade at Saint Francis de Sales School. This is my seventh year teaching at Saint Matthew's, the school that I graduated from in 1999. I attended Holy Family University where I studied Elementary Education and Religious Studies.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS - CHECK FACTS/YOUR CHILD'S EMAIL FOR GRADES (TESTS, QUIZZES, PROJECTS)
I am looking forward to a great year at Saint Matthew School! Please feel free to contact me if need be.
E-mail: jariosto@saintmatthewschool.com
7th Grade Importance:
1.) Grades are important when applying for High School
2.) Last year of Terra Nova Testing
3.) Confirmation
Please have the following by the end of this week:
Cleaning Supplies - Tissues, Wipes, Paper Towels
All stationery and art supplies
Textbooks covered
Folders, Copybooks, Pens, Pencils, Highlighters, Rulers, etc.
Bible (for home use)
Safety/Google Classroom/FACTS/Behavior/Homework:
I assign quizzes/tests on Google Forms.
Please check FACTS for grades. Assessments taken on Google Forms will be posted onto FACTS.
Any problems with behavior will lead me to contact parents by phone call and/or email. Detention may also be issued.
It is important still to keep hands clean and desks clean. This will happen each day to ensure safety for all of those in the classroom. Please send in cleaning supplies!
All students will begin each trimester with a "100" as their Homework Grade in all subjects and 5 points will be deducted if Homework Assignments are not completed by the due date.
Absentee notes are due to me the day after your child's absence. This is not optional.
Parents, your cooperation on all matters will be greatly appreciated and will ensure a great year here at Saint Matthew School!
