Wednesday Nov. 27, 2019.

I have removed the "subscribe by email" from my blog. Due to the boards privacy policy, we can not ask you to share your personal emails with us. Therefore, I will continue to use the blog because students have access to their homework, I am not sure if you will continue to get a notification if you have already signed up? If there is a message that I need to ensure that parents see, I will send it out through an Edsby broadcast which you will receive as an email notification. Then you will have to sign in to blogger to see the message. If anything changes and students gain access to Edsby, I will switch and let you know. I will also be able to share more evidence of learning pictures through Edsby.
Thank you for your patience while we figure all of this out!

Thank you to all of the parents that have signed up for an interview, I am looking forward to meeting with you tomorrow or Friday. I still have a couple of appointments available for those of you that have not yet booked an appointment. Parent, teacher, student communication is very important for your child's success!

We participated in the Edsby workshop last night, it was really informative. The only issue that I found was that the students do not have access to the platform. Therefore, I will continue to use blogger for homework and general information, if there is something that I feel is email worthy and not for the students, I will send a message through Edsby. Thank you for your support as I tested it out!
