Please make sure all items have been thoroughly cleaned. Here is a short video about with more information about MakerSpaces: https://youtu.be/NLEJLOB6fDw
Donate broken or old appliances, computers, whatever, for students to take apart to investigate how it is made.
Thank you for helping to make our Lightbulb Lab a wonderful resource for engineering and creating!!
Communication Counts
Build a strong relationship with your child’s teacher by communicating regularly. Here are some tips:
● Regularly access ParentVUE to keep on top of assignments and to monitor your student's academic progress in class.
● Ask the teacher about the best way to stay in contact. Do they prefer email, notes in your youngster’s backpack, or phone calls?
● Sign and return items as soon as possible. Your signature on a graded test or reading log communicates to the teacher that you’re interested in how your child is doing.
● Your youngster’s life at home can have a big impact on his life in school. Talk to the teacher right away about changes like a new custody arrangement or a parent’s military deployment. That way, you and the teacher will both be able to keep an eye out for any changes in his grades or behavior.
