Welcome back on track! I missed you while we were gone and I can't wait to get back to school to see you all! I had a great off-track and took a very last minute trip to Mexico to visit some old friends there, it was so special! I love this time of year, there is so much fun to be had! We will be doing our first book report, an awesome unit and project about Native Americans, plus its Fall and the weather starts cooling down! I hope you are as excited as I am!
REMIND APP Parents, PLEASE join our CREW!!
Some of you may have used this app before with other teachers and I have only heard remarkable things about its implementation in the classroom. The app is called Remind and it is essentially a texting/reminder app where in all of our personal info (phone number) is not directly used; making the text more like an email.
Below I have provided a link where you can enroll yourself in my "class" and once you have done that I can text you about assignment deadlines, field trip permission slips, student behavior, student victories, etc. You will also have the ability to "text" me with questions, comments, requests, anything. As I mentioned before, you input your phone number, but that is never given to me through the app, it just gives me your name which I select if I need to reach you.
I decided to go about it this way to give you the option of signing up, rather than auto-enrolling you with your info provided to the school. No pressure, but I believe this will only help our communication between school and home. Sign up to join our Crew using the link here or text @tcrew1819 to 81010.
