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 - March 11

Ask your son/daughter about today's Science experiments - making a mechanical mixture with two liquids.

Term 2 Report Cards were distributed today.  Please read through them with you son/daughter - reflecting on the year so far...and setting goals for the remaining months ahead!

Speaking of setting goals, our student-led conferences will be Wednesday, March 16 and Thursday, March 17.  Conference times have been scheduled and confirmation sheets have been sent home.  If you have any concerns about the times, and even prefer doing a phone interview or Zoom interview, please let me know ASAP.  

Have a great weekend!

Reminders:
- Our Gr. 5-8 students at MC Knoll have the opportunity to enjoy a "day on the slopes" at Asessippi Ski Area Thursday, March 31.  An information package was sent home last week.  If interested in attending, please return the form and appropriate fees by Thursday, March 17.  Those students who choose to NOT attend the ski trip, will enjoy a regular day at school instead.
