***February 2nd:  Happy Groundhog Day.  There are no scheduled google meets for today.  If you need to contact me you may do so at jgrace@riversidesd.com.  Enjoy digging out of the snow spectacular!

***Just a reminder to let students know that if they have a LAPTOP and did not get it switched out with a new Chromebook, they can stop by the high school to do so. If the Chrome book needs repairs you can take it to the high school and the Tech Team will take it there.

Hours are 8:00am – 3:15PM, Monday – Friday, at the JR-Sr High School.

They must bring the laptop and charge to make the switch.

No appointment is needed.

Most of the lessons are pre-recorded on Google classroom and you can meet me on google meet.  Check out your child's calendar for your grade level link to join the google meet.

Meet and you can watch and re-watch them as needed.  I virtually do the pages with your child.  They must complete the work in their workbook as it will be checked daily when in attendance at school before moving onto the next lesson. Any questions you may have will be answered daily between the hours of 8 AM and 4 PM.  You can contact me on talking points.org ( I will send a message to you) or my school email at jgrace@riversidesd.com.  Please don't hesitate to contact me.  You can expect the same from me.

*** Check out my Message Board for FYI, for Parents!

Dear Parents,

     Thank you for looking at my website.  Welcome back to the 2020-2021 school year.  I hope everyone had a restful, fun but safe summer.  I am excited to be back and can't wait to start the new school year.  As you may know, each student that I work with is unique.  Their needs may be similar or very different from another child's needs.  I am eager to work with each of them and hope to provide them with the tools they need to have a successful year, but I can't do that alone.  I’m writing to ask you, to help me become a partner with you in your child’s education this year. I would like to make the expectations and communications between home and school seamless and balanced.  This year I am teaching Reading and Language Arts only!   I will be teaching grades 3-5-and 6th! Woo Hoo!  Can't wait.

     My goal is to create a caring and safe classroom environment for your child and his/her classmates this year. When your child feels loved, accepted, and valued, the learning will naturally follow.  Please help me to be the best teacher I can be for your unique child by taking some time to write a letter to me with as much information that you would like to share with me about your child’s interests, talents, hobbies, and even school-related avoidences. Please also fill me in on your child’s weekly committments outside of school so that we can plan homework time realistically.

     Your letter may be handwritten or in the form of an email.  My email address is jgrace@riversidesd.com.  I  appreciate hearing from you in any form that is most comfortable for you.  Thank you for your time and partnership! I look forward to meeting you soon! I will be sending a contact sheet home for you to fill out.  Please return it with your child.

Sincerely,

Janet Grace

Cyber Safety for Students | CISA https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2019/08/20/cyber-safety-students 1/1 TLP:WHITE TLP:WHITE Cyber Safety for Students Original release date: August 20, 2019

As summer break ends, many students will return to school with mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets, and laptops. Although these devices can help students complete schoolwork and stay in touch with family and friends, there are risks associated with using them. However, there are simple steps that can help students stay safe while using their internet-connected devices. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends reviewing the following resources:
