Welcome to a New School Year!

Welcome students and families! We're excited for a brand new school year.

We're looking forward to partnering with you in the education of your child. We've set up this classroom blog for students to express their thoughts, opinions and ideas on an array of topics. Look for information to come home early in the school year on how to access the blog, as well as guidelines for acceptable use and privacy safeguards. We hope this will become a means to keep you connected to what goes on in our classroom. We feel this affords kids a unique opportunity to extend the walls of their classroom to the greater community abroad. Your kids will have many great ideas to share and, we're sure, would appreciate your personal feedback. Please feel free to share this site with friends and family as well.
