WELCOME!!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Mr. McDowell's classroom blog. I am very excited to have a classroom webpage and I hope that you will find it useful. The purpose of this blog is to provide a convenient (and reliable) communication link between students, parents, the school and Mr. McDowell. I invite you to check this blog on a daily basis as I will be posting valuable information about the classroom and the school - including daily homework assignments, important dates, classroom/school news, etc.

For your convenience, you can also sign-up to receive "daily updates" from this blog that automatically gets sent to your email every day there is a new posting. Simply type in your email address into the 'submit' box found on the right side of this blog.

More importantly, if you ever have any questions or concerns about your son/ daughter, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone, email, or this blog:

Classroom News - Nov. 18

Mrs. Erhardt and I would like to have a "belated Halloween Celebration" this Friday, Nov. 20 in the afternoon.  Like before, students are welcome to dress-up and bring some snacks.  If possible, students can also bring a pumpkin for the activity (although these might be VERY hard to find in stores now).  Happy Halloween!


An important newsletter was sent home yesterday regarding "parent-teacher-student conferences" - set for next Wednesday, Nov. 25 and Thursday, Nov. 26.  Conferences will take place using ZOOM.  Phone calls can also be made if families are unable to access ZOOM.  If there are any questions or concerns, please contact the school ASAP.

All Term 1 assignments/homework are now OVERDUE.  Those students who failed to meet this deadline may have earned an "Insufficient Evidence" (IE) on their report card.

Just a reminder that our Virtual Book Fair is happening until November 29.   If you place an order under $35 today (Wednesday, Nov. 18) between 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m...shipping is free!  Any orders over $35 is always free shipping.
