Stay Informed

In addition to information sent home in nametags, I use several different technology tools to keep parents informed of class activities and events, as well as to share classroom learning activities. My goal is to reach all parents in a way that is beneficial and convenient, which varies from family to family. All of these are 100% optional, and you can use as many or as few as you would like, but I encourage everyone to use at least one electronic method of communication! The methods currently used are:

Remind – This is a free service that you can register for to receive text messages concerning reminders and other information throughout the school year. For those concerned about security, I will never see your phone number and you will never see mine. I can send announcements to all parents at once, and can also have individual conversations with parents just like regular text messages. To join, simply text 81010 with the message @slatewecc. Please note that if you change cell phone numbers during the year, you will need to sign up again with the new number. I am not able to add or change numbers on my own.

Facebook™ – Our class has a Facebook™ account, listed as ‘Msslate’s class’, which will be used to share classroom events/activities. Only Facebook™ users who have been approved as one of our ‘friends’ will be able to view our Facebook™ page. This page IS NOT open to the public and can ONLY be viewed by other school employees and parents associated with our class. To get access to our Facebook™ page, simply send a friend request. A separate letter and permission form will come home regarding our Facebook™ usage.

Email – I maintain an email list to periodically send out reminders and other information. I can also send digital copies of our weekly newsletter and other information for those that prefer an electronic copy. Please note that only items specific to our classroom (not whole-school communications) can be emailed, so there is still a need to check the nametag daily.

Hopefully you will find these tools beneficial for keeping up with classroom activities and information. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Stay Connected!
