Pick-A-Time Conference Scheduling System Open January 30-February 10!
-Emails and information will be coming soon regarding winter conferences (February). As we get closer to scheduling conferences, please let me know if you'd like assistance with the process. I am more than happy to help!
iPads Will Be Coming Home!
Students will begin using the app SCHOOLOGY in class, to access assignments and math homework. We'll work through the steps together. It's our goal to have students use iPads at home once a week to do their math homework.
I will be sending a form home, that explains the steps in detail for uploading homework from Schoology. If you would prefer the paper copy to be sent home, please let me know.
At your third grader's winter conference, we'll discuss how the process is going for you-iPad going home, if you wish to not have the iPad go home, etc.
