Family+Connection

Welcome to Ms. Rants's Family-Classroom Connection!

In this class, we strive to be honest, respectful, and kind individuals. We work collaboratively with the school, our families, and the community to ensure a great education. Also, we like to have FUN! I feel that good communication between family and school is very important to the success of the students. Therefore, I have come up with many ways that we can all communicate. One is this wiki site. I will post important class-related information here, and you can come on and read it, and leave comments under the discussion tab. Another is the weekly newsletter, which will be both emailed and sent home with your child as a hard copy. This newsletter will have a summary of the weeks events, as well as a bit of what you can expect in the next week. On the back, there is a space for you to write any questions or comments to send back to me. You can always send me an email or call me at school with any urgent or personal questions or concerns. I encourage you to chat with me often, I love hearing from parents! Feel free to stop by after class for a chat. Hope to see you soon! This Week in Class: Links for parents This week's homework
