Welcome to Ms. Fogle's 5th grade ELA!
Dear Fifth Grade Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back to Windber Elementary School! We are so excited to be working with you and your child this year! We wanted to introduce ourselves, and offer some information that will be helpful to you and your child about what their fifth grade experience is going to look like.
Your Teachers/Classes
There are three 5th grade teachers. Your child will work with all three. Ms. Fogle will teach ELA (English Language Arts). Mrs. Clark will be your child’s Math teacher. Mrs. Ropp will be your child’s Science and Social Studies teacher. Students will be switching classrooms and will be expected to transport all of their classroom materials in their bookbag from room to room.
Chromebooks
Chromebooks will stay in the classroom this year. Each classroom will have a chromebook cart to use when needed. If you would like to supply your child with headphones, earbuds, or a mouse, these would be permitted.
Materials
Each student will be provided with classroom materials needed for each subject. These materials will stay in the student’s bookbag and must come to school with them each day. As stated above, we are having students keep all materials in their book bags that will be transported from class to class by them. Nothing will be kept in desks. We need your assistance in making sure these materials stay in your child(ren)’s bookbags and are not removed/left at home. Students do not need to bring extra pencil boxes, notebooks, folders, binders, or anything else that may weigh their bookbags down unnecessarily.

Last, but not least, we know that your child’s safety and education is of the utmost importance. This will require us more than ever to pull together collaboratively as a collective team.

We promise to do our very best in helping them to grow, to learn, and to have some fun along the way!
