Welcome to 7-56!

A warm hello to all of our new students and parents in the 7-56 family! Mr. Sklapsky and I are very excited to have been getting to know everyone this week. I will be using this blog to share information that we are working on in class, as well as to upload essential class documents, and we'll also use the calendar above to keep you up-to-date with everything that's going on in our team. Next week already we have our Muffin Morning from 7:30-8:30 on Wednesday September 11th. 

If you're interested in learning a bit more about myself or Mr. Sklapsky, check out the About the Teachers tab. 

We sent out a big package of information this week, and we would like to thank everyone who has turned it in so far. All of those forms and the fees are due on Friday, and we thank you for the time you take to complete them. It is a daunting task. 

I would like to share with you a bit more information regarding our contact this term. It is copied from an email you may have received from Mr. Sklapsky earlier: 

Remind 101 Contact Information

We will be using an application called Remind 101 this year. It is a program that allows us to send text messages to anyone who signs up for our classroom reminders. We will not know any parent/student phone numbers, and they won’t see ours. It will allow us to send reminders and information regarding homework, exams, due dates, etc. 

We encourage all parents (and students with phones) to participate. We will only use it for important information and you will not be inundated by texts from us. Mr. Sklapsky will be the primary sender of communication for this method.

HOW TO JOIN:

Text the message, “@756h” to the number 819-801-0336. You will get a confirmation reply to enter your name (please use first and last name), and it will create a contact list for us. 

If you want to receive these updates straight to your email, check out the "Subscribe to this blog" area on the right hand side. 

We look forward to an awesome year this year as we work with you and your children! 

- Mr. Hyland
