Parent Information Night

Thank you to all the parents that attended Back to School Night. Below you can find some of the information that I shared during my presentation.

Amazon Teacher Wish List  - This list contains materials that are needed for the labs throughout the year that are not supplied by the school. As a result they are materials that typically are purchased and provided by me or by the parents. Any donations to the list would be greatly appreciated so that I am able to increase the number of hands on activities for the students.

Parent Remind Account Information - This account has been created to keep parents in the loop with what is going on within the classroom. You can sign up for email or text message alerts that will provide parents with upcoming due dates, project information, and current assignments.

Thank you all again, and if there are ever any concerns please feel free to email me directly.

Mrs. Oddson
