Please make sure you email me every week

 

Parents/Guardians/Students

I hope you are all doing well.  Distance learning will definitely be different, but we will get through it.  I will have enrichment websites, activities and lessons for the remainder of the school year on my school webpage.

Please contact me via email at richarda@colbertisd.org, so that I will have your email address.  Please let me know if you need any help or have any questions.

Students will be given the option to:

    1. Receive their current grade in class (email me if you do not know your grade).

    2.  Be given the opportunity to complete online or paper packet assignments, in order to improve their grade.

Please don’t forget to email me and let me know if you wish to keep your current grade or would

like to try to raise it.

 For those that have access to the internet you will take pictures of your assignments and submit to my email or just email me your responses depending on the type of assignment.   For those that do not have access to the internet I will have packets available for enrichment exercises.  These packets will be for the remainder of the year.

Please continue to check my website for weekly lesson plans.  Thank you parents and students in advance for your patience as we try to figure this all out.  

Students, please be safe and do what you can to help your family, friends, and neighbors during this time while practicing social distancing. I miss you all!

Sincerely,

 

Mrs. Richard
