February 10

Dear Fireside Families,

Fireside has spirit!

We're excited to see you at conferences Feb. 15, 21 and 23!

Here are a few words from Ms. Pazour:

If your child hasn't already shared with you the exciting technological devices, applications, programs, and projects that they've worked with this year, please ask them to tell you all about them. Different grades have differing levels of time with technology, increasing with the students' progress through the grade levels. We will be sending home a student-password card for you to explore some of the cloud-based programs that your child is able to access. Also, please visit the Fireside Elementary Library website for school-wide programs and application subscriptions, such as Typing Pal, WeVideo and Wixie. During conference evenings, the computer lab will be available for student-led technology tours of programs, projects, and websites. Feel free to drop by and explore.

Homework Survey: 

Thanks to our 111 respondents who took time to respond to our homework survey. For a summary of the data please view our SAC notes from the January 12th meeting here. We reviewed the data as a staff and will continue to engage in discussions to consider revisions to our policy for next school year.

As always, my door is always open. Thank you for your partnership in our exceptional school!
