Explain how it is there to help them help their kids and promote organization. rwhelan4 https://padlet.com/rwhelan4/t95lyf65488f/wish/175237159 2017-06-05 16:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rwhelan4/t95lyf65488f/wish/175237159 I know this kinda sounds weird but cell phone use in the classroom is a problem. rwhelan4 https://padlet.com/rwhelan4/t95lyf65488f/wish/175238337 I have found it helpful if I explain very carefully to parents what the school and my personal policy is with cell phone use.

Although I send out a weekly email with what we have been doing in class, I don't know if anyone reads it. rwhelan4 https://padlet.com/rwhelan4/t95lyf65488f/wish/175731764
That being said, parents could sign up for my class Remind101 on Curriculum Night. That way they will get the notifications I send to my students about events, programming, and tests. ]]> 2017-06-08 13:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rwhelan4/t95lyf65488f/wish/175731764
