This will be my primary means of communicating with you about what is happening in the class each day. On the top right corner of the page, you can subscribe to our blog and receive a daily email between 3 and 5 pm directly to your email. Before the students leave at the end of the day, the students and I will complete a blog entry indicating all homework, upcoming assignments, and important events happening at our school. Agendas will not be mandatory in my class this year. My hope is that between home and school we can develop a plan that will work for the individual student. However, agendas are available to buy from the school.
On the blog I will be posting a great deal of useful information, such as:
- homework assignments
- assessment information (how work is being marked)
- learning goals for literacy and math
- links to provide students with extra practice
- texts (videos, readings etc.) for students to enrich class discussions and activities
- links to all online tools we will be using in class
PARENT CONTACT INFORMATION
If you need to contact me, I would prefer if you email me directly using my board email address timothy.congram@yrdsb.ca or call the school at 905-727-6642 (email is probably the most reliable if you looking for a timely response).
Thank you for taking the time to fill out this form. I'm looking forward to a great year!
