This is going to be a monumental academic school, and I am looking forward to meaningful conversations as we cultivate many learning experiences for your child daily as we analyze the important historical events, and the impact they have had/and still have on our lives today. 

 

As we embark on this journal together, there may be a lot of questions. I want you to rest assured that I may not answer the question within minutes, but I assuredly, will respond to your emails and Remind questions (although I may use Class Dojo depending on district needs and requirements). 

 

A note to remember: when your child asks a question in Google Classroom, I cannot respond through an email unless there is one included in the question (not the mcschools/google email provided by the district). The best way for us to communicate with each other consistently in a guaranteed timely manner is to use email.
