Welcome to Room 10!
Welcome back! I am Ms. Ryogoku and I am one of the grade 4/5 teachers this year. I am so excited to begin another school year and hear about everyone's summer adventures. Below is some important information to start our year.
Website Agenda
Each week our classroom website will be updated with important information. Notices, assignments, classroom news and reminders will be found on our website:
https://school.cbe.ab.ca/schoo...
Occasionally forms will be sent home. Any form that needs to be returned to the school will be printed on blue paper. If you need to contact me, please write a note, email me at sdryogoku@cbe.ab.ca or call the school at (403) 777-8240. Please note that emails and calls received after 3:00pm will be returned the following day.
Reminders
- Every student must have a pair of indoor running shoes that are appropriate for participation in all gym activities.
- It would also be beneficial if students could have their own set of headphones at school for use with computers.
- Cell phones are not to be used during school hours. If you need to contact your child, please do so through the office. Students will be expected to keep cell phones in their backpacks.
- Children are encouraged to leave valuable items at home to avoid damage or loss of these items.
- Children are encouraged to bring their own water bottles and a daily healthy snack to school. It is recommended that the bottle be returned home and washed at the end of every week to prevent the build up of bacteria and the spreading of germs.
- To avoid the loss of personal items, please ensure that all belongings are labeled.
