Happy New Year!
New Quarter:
We made it through half of our school year, and I just know these next few months are going to fly by.......spring break will be here before we know it. On that note, students were reminded of expected behaviors with their stability balls in the classroom. We are very lucky to have these resources, and they have not all been using them as they should. Therefore, we have reviewed how the balls need to be used, and students' responsibilities of their actions with the balls. All students will get a reminder/warning if they are improperly using the ball, however, will lose their ball for the remainder of the year if they cannot use it appropriately. Please have your child review the expectations with you this week. I am fairly certain that everyone will be able to keep their ball for the rest of the year. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
A reminder if there is a snow day: The first snow day will be an off day, and students will make it up on May 27th. If there is a second snow day, this will be an E-day, and students will need to log in to Canvas that day to complete assignments. Please make sure you can get logged in before then so that if you have questions or issues getting logged in, we can address them before there is panic on that day.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
