Welcome Back!

2019-20 Communication

All communication for the 2019-2020 school year will be posted on the Seesaw App that you have already signed up for in August. I will post something almost every single day. You will be able to view messages I send to the entire class or messages I send to only you. You can also respond back to me privately. This is going to be a fabulous year!

Welcome!

I am very excited that your child is in my class this year, and we’re excited to share our classroom learning with you! I will use Seesaw as my way to communicate with you on how your child is doing and all the important information that you and your child will need to have a successful year!  Therefore, please always check Seesaw so that you have the most up to date information.  I post to Seesaw almost every day.   In order to save on the expense of paper and copying, I will not be sending home any notes unless I need you to sign something. Also, if you did not turn on notifications, please do this so that you receive information from me immediately. This will keep you informed of what is happening i our classroom in a timely manner.

I am looking forward to working together with you to ensure that your child has a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Picardal
