hello fourth grade families,I hope this letter finds you well and in high spirits. As we navigate our way through another academic year, I want to take a moment to emphasize the paramount importance of class attendance and active participation in your education. It is an essential component of your learning journey and one that should not be taken lightly. In our commitment to ensuring that each and every one of you receives a high-quality education, we have made class attendance mandatory. We expect all students to attend all required classes unless there is an emergency, illness, or excused absence. This not only benefits your learning but also contributes to the overall academic atmosphere of our institution. Here are some key points to keep in mind: 1. Punctuality is Key: Arriving on time for your classes is a critical aspect of your success. Being prompt allows you to settle in, focus, and absorb the information presented from the beginning. 2. Stay for the Entire Class: Leaving a class earlyis not only disruptive to your fellow students but also detrimental to your own understanding of the subject. To fully grasp the material, it is important to stay for the entire duration of the class. 3. Active Participation: Actively engaging in class discussions is a wonderful way to enhance your learning experience. We encourage you to utilize the hand raising tool and participate in discussions, ask questions, and share your thoughts. This not only enriches the class but also reinforces your own comprehension. 4. Nearpod Activities: We have integrated Nearpod as a tool to facilitate interactive learning. Completing activities on Nearpod is a valuable way to reinforce your understanding of the subject matter. These activities are designed to be engaging and educational. Please be aware that our teachers and administration are actively monitoring class attendance. We conduct weekly check-ins to ensure that every student is attending classes as required. Furthermore, we closely monitor Nearpod reports to gauge who is actively participating and completing assignments. Remember that learning and improving your skills are at the core of your academic journey. By attending class and participating actively, you not only enhance your knowledge but also build the foundation for future success. Thank you!
