    Hello Families! 

     
    I am so excited to be your student's math & science teacher this year! We are going to have so much fun, and I can't wait to get started! There is a lot of information in this email, so please read all the way through. 
     
    Transportation: Please email me how your student will be getting home on the first day of school, along with the rest of the year if you were unable to mamke it yesterday. If there are any transportation changes that need to be made at any time during the school year, please make sure to send those changes to cssoffice@leonschools.net no later than 2 o'clock that day. 
     
    Attendance: If your child is going to be out, please make sure to email myself, Ms. Centers, AND the office (cssoffice@leonschools.net). Also, if your child has an excuse note or doctor note, please make sure it is sent directly to the office. 
    Please make sure your student is always on time to class. We will begin promptly at 8:30 in the morning. When your child arrives at school and needs breakfast, please make sure they head there first. Breakfast does end at 8:20. If they arrive after 8:30, they will be considered tardy. 
     
    Listserv: If you have not, please make sure to sign up for our Listserv, so that you are always up to date on information for our school. To join, please go to our website, click on Listserv, and then subscribe. 
     
    Focus: All assignments and information for our class will be found on my website. Please make sure that you visit it often. Also, please do not forget to check Focus weekly. All grades from the prior week will be uploaded by Monday. 
     
    Website: My website is located on the Conley homepage. Click on Faculty and Staff or Teacher Website. Find my name, Courtney Camper, and view the website. Here is where you will find all the information for my classroom. The website will serve as a newsletter. 
     
    Parent Contact Info: If you have had any recent changes to your phone number, email, address, etc, please be sure to log into Focus and update. 
     
    Flipped Classroom: This year, we are going to using the Flipped Classroom method. This is where the students will watch the video at home and they come to class prepared ready to have discussion, questions, and prepared for the activities associated with the lesson. All videos will be uploaded to YouTube and the link will be found on my website. You can also go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel by clicking on the link: 
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1GKXNT7T582t13XD0QQAlQ
    Please know that the students will not be able to access the video unless they click on the link located on my classroom website under classwork. More information about the Flip Classroom can be found on my website under Flip Classroom. 
     
    Classroom: This week, we will be going over rules and procedures of the classroom, as well as Mrs. Camper's expectations. We will be learning how the classroom is ran and all the information students will need to know to have a successful school year. 
     
    Classroom Management: In class we will be using the school wide positive reinforcement system. Students can earn "punches" on their sting cards or hive fives (which they turn in for punches) for positive behaviors, as well as following rules and procedures of the classroom and the school, and more. Students will have a chance to turn in their sting cards every two weeks for a school wide store and collect prizes. 
     
    Information: At orientation, you received a folder with information about our classroom. If you were not able to make it, I have attached some of those files. Your student will be coming home with these on the first day of school! Please make sure you review all items in the folder. 
     
    Walkers: If your student is going to be a walker, please fill out the walker verification form and return it to the office. 
     
    Important Times: 
    • 8:30 - School Starts
    • 11:30 - Lunch 
    • 1:50 - Special Area 
    • 2:50 - Dismissal 
    Communication: Email is the best way to communicate with me. During the day, while teaching and running a classroom, I will not be able to stop and take a phone call. Grades are communicated through Focus, so please be sure to check it weekly and email with any questions or concerns. You will find all of the things we are doing in class on the class website as well as any updates. Please be sure to check it daily. If there is anything you feel Ms. Centers or I need to know, please don't hesitate to reach out. When we work as a team, it helps the student be successful. 
     
    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. 
     
    Can't wait to see everyone Monday! 
     
    Kind Regards, 

     

    Mrs. Camper
