We are thrilled to be back in the classroom again!  I am very proud of the class and how they are adjusting to the new rules, routine and guidelines.  It was a great first week and everyone is starting to settle in.  
      We will be using Google Classroom as our main means of communication.  Students have joined the Google Classrooms for all subjects/specials and we have set up a Homework Google Classroom for all subjects.  Most of the notes, documents and daily assignments are posted in the Google Classroom.  
      It is VERY IMPORTANT that parents read all of Mr. Jensen's emails regularly.  A weekly email is sent each Sunday to inform families of the upcoming events of the week.  Each parent should have access to the Parent Portal at this time.  This is the website that provides access to each child's grades.  If you do not have your username/password or need assistance, please contact Mrs. Conte.
     If you have any questions please contact me  @lchristensen5641@stroseschool.net.  Looking forward to working with you all.  It's going to be a terrific year!
God Bless,
Mrs. Christensen
