Elementary: Class NewslettersRegular and open communication with families is key! The bi-weekly newsletters that I send out to families include our learning targets, as well as narrative to help families engage with their students at home and extend their learning. Families have constant access to these newsletters through a folder in my email signature. Take a look at an example!

Secondary: Skyward UpdatesGrading Procedure
Because I believe that grading should be used as a tool to help students access their mastery of a subject and gain accountability, I update their grading system daily, to reflect the most current grades that they earned. Students know that they can log on to the system at home and see the most current account of their grade. This allows them to take the lead and begin steps of intervention if necessary. Communication I've used our district-wide grading system as a communication point for parents. I regularly send out messages to parents and students in my classes, giving updates on the latest in the classroom, as well as any special events or assignments coming up. |
