Expectations and Distance Learning
The 5th grade team has been focusing our morning meetings and beginning of the year activities around how students can show P.R.I.D.E. within a distance learning setting. We can demonstrate Respect around technology by using the zoom chat as a tool, not a toy. We can keep our cell phones out of reach (just like they would be out of reach if we were in the classroom) to stay Engaged in the lesson. We can be Dependable and follow the district rules that prohibit taking pictures or video of others without their knowledge. We will continue to discuss and model showing P.R.I.D.E. during our distance learning time together and we hope that you will continue to have these conversations with your child at home as well. Thank you for your support.

Please complete the data confirmation on Aeries. IT personnel will provide forms for you to sign when picking up your child’s chrome book. All 5th graders are required to use a district-provided chrome book. This will allow teachers to troubleshoot when your child encounters a tech problem. The district-provided chrome books have applications that your child is expected to use. If your child does not use the district-provided chrome book, they will not be able to complete assignments. In addition, teachers will not be able to help troubleshoot when a problem arises.

Every student in 5th needs to pick up classroom materials even if they did not order supplies from “1st Day of School”.
