Con-Ceps is all about using technology to ease the classroom experience, but we know it can sometimes be confusing to parents. Below is a list of the different websites that we use in our classroom, and how that website can be helpful to you as a parent. We hope that this guide will make it easier for you to keep track of your child's 5th grade year.
Your child's progress report or report card should never catch you off guard. Skyward is your number one look into your child's grades. Grades are live, as the teacher inputs the grade, you can see it. You can , also, set notifications that will let you know if your child receives a grade under 70% (or whatever percentage you choose). You can even download the Skyward APP. If you do not have a log in, please stop by the front office to sign up today. Students, also, have their own user name and password.
Class Dojo is an excellent resource for finding out how your child is behaving in the classroom. We love to reward your child daily for their positive actions like being on task, helping others, following directions, taking initiative, and many other positive actions. Sadly, we sometimes have to take away points, as well. If your child does not do homework assigned or is not on task or listening, you will find record of this on this site. Sign in information was sent home at the beginning of the year, as well as on their Dojo report in the last report card. Parents can see 2 weeks worth of actions. We will send home Dojo Reports with every progress report and report card.
Edmodo is our version of a school safe Facebook. It is really geared for the students, but you can access a parent code through their sign in, and be an observer. We have homework helpers that post the homework nightly. If a student needs homework help, they can ask questions and receive help from the teachers, as well as classmates. We sometimes post assignments, add notes or documents, as well as other classroom announcements like Knight of the Week.
We use remind to text you weekly reminders that our website has been updated. We also send out occasional reminders for activities in the classroom. If you have not already signed up, please text @conceps2 to 81010. You can also use this tool to text us any questions you may have.
