Dear Team 6 Parents,                                                             August 6, 2010

     Welcome back to Sneed and to our Team.  My name is Robin Dantzler and I will be your child’s science teacher this year.  I have put together some information you may find useful now and throughout the year.  Also, I wanted to provide you with my email address so you can contact me with any concerns you have.  My email address is: rdantzler@fsd1.org.

 

WEB PAGE

     I do maintain a webpage that can be accessed at the following URL: https://www.fsd1.net/schools/sneed/rdantzler/Pages/default.aspx.   Here you will be able to view the topics we will cover that week, projected homework assignments and important reminders.  You may want to bookmark this page so you can easily check for updates.

 

TEXTBOOK

     The following is a link to our textbook on-line:  http://glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/ose/.  Your username is scsg807 and your password is c4gepe9h.  Students will be provided a copy of the textbook to keep at home the first week of school.  They do not need to bring it with them to class because I have a class set that we will use.

 

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS

     This year my Science students will be required to maintain an interactive notebook.  I will provide students with the requirements for their notebooks in class.  An interactive notebook is set up where students have notes that I provide them on the right side pages.  The left hand pages are for students to use in creating materials that will help them process or reflect on what they have learned.  In the front of the notebook they will maintain a table of contents.  For the first nine weeks I will keep a copy of the table of contents in class for the students to use if they miss any information.  After the first nine weeks they will be responsible for maintaining their own table of contents.  It is my hope that this will improve my students organizational skills and that they will realize what an easy to use resource their notebook can be.  They will keep all graded assignments in their notebook and they will be writing test and lab reflections that you may want to look over if they are struggling in class.

 

POWERSCHOOL

     PowerSchool is a valuable resource available to students and parents so they can view grades.  The following PowerPoint will introduce PowerSchool to you: http://www.fsd1.org/powerschool/parent/parentaccessinfo.pdf .  You can access PowerSchool at:   https://pschool.fsd1.org/admin/pw.html.  Please make sure you have acquired your username and password from the front office and share it with your child.  I update my grades once a week usually at the end of the week.   If you have any questions or concerns please email me or contact Doris Brown to schedule a conference.

 

SUPPLIES

     My students will need the following supplies to use in their Science classrooms:

·        Four single subject, 70 page spiral notebooks in red, blue, yellow and green.  We will use one for each nine weeks.  If students will bring all of them in during the first week of school, I will store their extra notebooks for them. 

·        Students are asked to bring in two glue sticks that we will use throughout the year in maintaining our notebooks.  I will also collect these during the first week of school.

·        Students are asked to donate one box of Kleenex to one of their core teachers the first week of school.

·        Other supplies students will need for their own personal use: pens (blue or black ink), mechanical pencils, colored pencils or markers, loose leaf paper and a simple four function calculator.

 

     I hope you enjoy the last couple of weeks of your summer before school begins.  I am looking forward to working with you and your child in the upcoming year at Sneed.
