Congratulations to Everyone!!

 

Congratulations to Everyone!

I feel like we all need to celebrate the successful completion of the first week of back to school.  You as parents, your children as students, and me as the teacher have come out somewhat unscathed. (I hope. J)

One of the big accomplishments in the first week was learning how to operate a combination lock. Ask your child how they are doing with opening their locker.  Some extra practice at home may be helpful for some students and I’m willing to allow locks to go home with permission in order for this to happen.

I have been having a blast getting to know your children and I can honestly report that they have been trying hard to make a good first impression on me and have been exemplary in their attitudes!

This coming week students will be given their own chromebook which will remain at school.  Grade 6/7 will involve more digital work.  Should your child need to be quarantined, he/she will be able to access school work via Google Classroom.  Please let me know if your child does not have access to a computer at home for school work. 

I won't overwhelm you this first email.  I will warn you that I am sending a short questionnaire home on Monday with your children that asks you some questions about them that will offer me some insights into the incredible, unique, special children of God they are.  No rush to return it.  Anytime before the end of next week is fine.  

Bless you, 

Joanne Robideau 

P.S. Here are some pictures of our first week together.
