Hello families!

We are finally at our first FULL week of school. As a reminder, students are expected to work consistently throughout the day from 8:55 until 3:50.

Moving forward, all assignments will be posted on Schoology. Please make sure your child has all of their Eureka math materials, as we are beginning with Module 1 this week. Additionally, if they don’t have a whiteboard, they can use their math notebook for now.

As of right now, the parent codes for Schoology are not working and are being looked at by administration. I will continue to contact parents through Dojo, email, or text.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hello families! Here are a few important reminders as we move forward:

School begins promptly at 8:55. I suggest having your child log in to Zoom early (they don’t have to sit there and wait for class to start) so at 8:55, we can begin instruction.

Lunch is daily from 11:45 – 12:25. Students are expected to begin working right away. Starting tomorrow (Thursday), they will need to log back into Zoom for further instruction.

Students are expected to work until 3:50. While specials are still being worked out, they may finish before then. Please make sure they are doing their best and aren’t rushing.

Assignments are still on Google Classroom for this week. By Monday, they will be on Schoology. I will practice looking up assignments with them this week.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Hello families. Please make sure your child is logging in daily to Google Classroom. Starting Tuesday, we will be meeting as a group in the morning while we finish up orientation. By Thursday, instruction will be all day. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. Thank you.

Welcome 4th Graders!

Welcome to a new year at Maples Elementary

I am so pleased and honored to be your child’s 4th Grade teacher! I am truly looking forward to working with and getting to know each one of my students and their families this year. I pledge to do my best to make learning interesting, meaningful, and fun!

We will begin the year online using Schoology. More information will be given at your scheduled orientation. Unfortunately, this year will be different due to the pandemic. You can rest assured that we will take it one day at a time. The health and safety of everyone is what matters most. We will get through it together.

Students will be notified in advance of homework, lessons, assessments, and other aspects of our class. Any and all announcements will be posted weekly on my blog, and Class Dojo until Schoology is fully implemented. 

I can promise that I will work hard to provide the best instruction possible for all my students. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I can be reached at jowkarp@dearbornschools.org I look forward to working with all of you!
