- It is a requirement for all students to have their full gym uniform on while on Zoom Meetings.
- All students must wear a mask in school at all times. Students will have access to hand sanitizer and non-toxic disinfectant wipes in all classrooms.
All of the remote learning work as well as our Zoom Meetings will be posted on our Google Classroom page, which will be updated daily. Below is the link to the 3rd Grade Google Classroom page. You can also access this through your child’s SCGSTL email by clicking the square on the top right corner and then clicking the green and orange icon that says “classroom”.
ClassDojo will also have important updates throughout the year, but we will mostly be making use of Google Classroom until further notice.
I am so excited to meet all of the incoming 3rd graders and their families, and to watch my students blossom throughout the year! Please feel free to contact me via email with questions/comments/concerns.
Sincerely,
Ms. Rodriguez
