I will use edmodo.com for many homework assignments, online quizzes, activities, online games, etc. this year. To get an Edmodo account, follow these instructions:
1. Go to www.edmodo.com
2. The student should then create a student account and join their class' group by using one of the following codes:
2A-i3bwce
3A-qtu3gw
4A-ju4z6c
2B-nqyawz
3B-iwytxy
4B-xpw6hi
3. Once the student joins the class group, they will get a parent code.
4. Use the parent code to create a parent account so parents can see when assignments have been given, the score earned, etc. related to graded materials on Edmodo.
ALL PARENTS AND STUDENTS (with phones) need to join REMIND 101
Here is how to join:
1. Create a text message to send to the phone number 81010 .
2. Send the message from below (minus what is in parentheses) that corresponds to the student's class:
(2A) @2aawh
(3A) @3aawh
(4A) @4aawh
(2B) @2bawh
(3B) @3bawh
(4B) @4bawh
3. You will recieve a reply in a few minutes that asks for your name
4. If you are the student, reply with your first and last name (no nicknames please)
5. If you are a parent, reply with your name followed by the child's first and last name.
Once this is complete, I will be able to send students and parents text message reminders about homework, quizzes, tests, and projects.
Students and Parents--VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!--This school year, I will be bringing a group of students to Rome, Pompeii, and the Isle of Capri in Italy. All of my students are welcome, and encouraged, to join this chance to experience up close, but there is a limited number that the trip can allow. Parents, please view the Rome Tour Website at www.eftours.com/1810535HP to learn more about this amazing opportunity. Please feel free to email me at rwall1@ebrschools.org if you have any questions, concerns about this trip or if you would like to enroll your child on this trip. Parents are welcome to come on the trip is well. Keep in mind that space on tour is limited, and currently there are 15 spots left out of 36 total. Below are some pics from the last two tours I brought students on to Greece in 2015 and Spain in 2016.
