Dear Parents,
I would like to welcome you and your child to another exciting year at Gold Hill Elementary. This is my 17th year teaching elementary school, and I look forward another great year at GHES. The other fifth grade teachers and I have been working collaboratively to create the most successful learning environment possible for your child. It is my goal to assure that every student has an opportunity to be successful in, not only my classroom, but also as they go on to Middle School and beyond.
I am also excited about the opportunity to communicate with you about your child’s progress every week throughout the school year. This communication goes both ways, so please do not hesitate to ask any and all questions.
Our 5th Grade Website will be updated weekly and is your source for all things at GHES 5th Grade. The website is http://ghes5.weebly.com/. Please check it often as we will be communicating via the website.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me for a conference at school. The number for Gold Hill is 548-8250. The best way to reach me anytime is through email which I will be checking often. My school email address is [email protected] & my school cell phone (call/text): 803-792-1090.
Communication Opportunities:
1) Parent Portal - Please Make sure you are signed up and know how to access this tool. (I will help if need be)
2) If you haven't already filled out the survey from Meet The teacher please go to the following website http://ghes5.weebly.com/ click on “communication” and fill out the student/parent info form.
2) Remind is a service we will be using to help communicate with parents throughout the year. It is a TEXT BASED service, so Standard Texting Rates Apply. You do NOT have to join, but it will be a key source to helping you communicate with your child.
1. Send a text message to (615) 567-5384
2. With the Message: @2014ghes5
3. I do have a classroom Twitter if you want to follow along: @LegacyC109
On the next few pages you will find the class procedures. These procedures have been reviewed in detail by your students the first days of school.Thank you for your support of our 5th grade classroom and I look forward to working with both you and your child this year.
