Welcome Back!

Hello Everyone!

It is a pleasure to be back, and getting to know you is going to be one of the joys of this month.

I am a firm beleiver in clear and open communication, and this blog is an experiement for me. I wanted to make sure parents could be kept informed of school items from anywhere, whether they are with their child or not, whether the paprwork gets home of not (wink ;).

This page is intended for students and parents to use to check on assignments, paperwork and other items. You can subscribe to the post, which means that when I post an update it will come to your email directly.

Comments can be made, and I will check daily for comments and questions, although I cannot guarantee homeowrk help nightly, you can use this as a place to post ideas, helpful hints and encouraging messages!

This blog does not replace checking the agenda, which is where your child's teachers will put hard copies of paperwork, personal messages and other information. It is meant as an additional source of information, not a relacement for the processes already in place.

As this is a new project, your feedback will be helpful to determining the directtion this log takes and it's usefulness. It is a dynamic site - it is best used when it has many contributors, but it has to be a wise time investment for all concnerned. So please give me feedback about what would be helpful on this site and our class site.

Many thanks and best wishes for a productive school year!
Ms. Kathy Napier

Ms. Napier,

Thank you for including us (parents). I really appreciate being included in everything my children are doing at school.

Natasha & I are looking forward in reading your blogs.

I've never used blogs before, so it'll be interesting.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Cécile & Natasha
