Welcome To My Website
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back to the 2020-2021 school year at Grove Street Elementary School!
My name is Richard Douglas and I am delighted that your child is in my third grade math and science classes (Room 308). With shared commitment during a virtual format, your child will experience many rewarding and lifelong learning opportunities throughout the 2020-21 school year. In addition, our scholars will be exposed to and participate in a variety of conceptual practice and college/ career readiness activities to demonstrate their Math computation and Scientific reasoning or modeling abilities. They will explore interesting content in Science and Mathematics with the primary use of personal chromebooks, various websites and online resources provided by the district. Homework will be assigned daily and it usually consists of reinforced work primarily in the areas of Math and Science but may also include Social Studies and Read Aloud of current newspaper articles. It is imperative that your child’s homework is reviewed and submitted in completion every night. Please enable your child to complete at least 25 minutes of I-Ready Math and ELA each night and promote meaningful discussions to build and maintain sturdy academic and social-emotional foundations. It is extremely important for us to develop a progressive and productive home- school relationship that is geared toward a nuturing and successful future for your child. I would greatly appreciate if you could please provide me with your current phone number and email to allow me to contact you if necessary. Feel free to contact me via email if your have questions as well. Thank you for your cooperation in advance. Your support will create an exciting and fulfilling experience during your child’s Third Grade adventure! I look forward to meeting you on “Back to School Night” and throughout the school year to help your child to become a valued and productive 21st century learner.
Sincerely,
Richard Douglas
