Year 8 Whanau – I have sent out a note to meet up with all of you to discuss your child’s learning for this year.  I am happy to come to your home [if you are OK with this] or make a time at school.  This will be an in-depth look at where your child is now and where to next so we can all work together to prepare him / her for college. If your child has a device, they are welcome to bring it along to enhance learning, however please ensure that it is ‘school compatible’ so it will need Google drive and Docs, plus any games need to be age appropriate.

Class Blog - room12cartertonschool2015.blogspot.co.nz.  Check us out and I will be putting any info on the blog such as published work, information, homework, reminders etc. Plus what we have been doing at school and in class.

Google docs – your child has their class log-in and can find any shared work, support for homework etc, on Google Drive.  Plus you can see what they have been doing in class if they are using a device or netbook.

If your child has a device, they are welcome to bring it along to enhance learning, however please ensure that it is ‘school compatible’ so it will need Google drive and Docs, plus any games need to be age appropriate.

Thanks

Melanie MacGregor
