Parents, if your child is out for a considerable period of time (illness, vacation, etc.), please pick up their books. All assignments that I give (ELA, Math, Science 3A and 3B, and Religion) are posted on my Google Classrooms. Your child knows how to use Google Classroom. The classwork and homework are posted. Please do not wait until they are out for a long period, and then ask for the work. Having multiple children out for many days, make it difficult to try to complete missed assignments. The only time available is recess and I do not want to take this away from them. Worksheets and quizzes/ tests may be taken upon return. In some instances, I have quizzes and tests posted on scheduled dates on Google Classroom. These may be completed at home. Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome to Week One!

Some information:

• Students do not have cubbies in the classroom. Their books will be kept in their desks and all other materials will be kept in a crate labeled with their name. This includes their art supplies, cleaning products (wipes, paper towels, personal hand sanitizer), and lunch.

• Students will change classes this year.

• Students may bring something to play with at recess. Some suggestions include: jump ropes, yoyos, action figures, books, sketch books, etc. No electronics are allowed outside. If they are uncertain, they may ask if it is appropriate. Students will not need to wear masks outside, unless it is your request. They will wear them going out to recess and returning to the classroom

• More recess information may be added as time progresses.

Just a reminder about some daily classroom routine...

Students have a snack and bathroom break in the mornings. Students may have only "one" snack and may only have water. At lunch they may have a different drink.

Google Classrooms-I only have access to the classes that I teach. If you have questions you will have to email that teacher of the subject.

Please remember to read the updates by Mrs. Ashby, Mrs. Trimble and the HASA Board weekly. They are published on Wednesdays.
