Emerson is off to a great start this year. Our classes are full, but that just means more friends for all of the kids! :)
Today we held our discipline assemblies and talked with all of the students about the school rules including everything from walking in the hallways, the dress code and bullying.
Tonight was Back to School Night and we had a great turnout. There are many new faces at Emerson; both students and staff as well.
Tonight we announced our plan to "Go Digital" and virtually eliminate paper-based homework. If you are reading this, you may be find this to be a great idea. My own children love to "play" on the computer and even many academic websites are quite entertaining to them. During this year, the Emerson staff is going to start introducing web-based homework and then in January we will expect that most families can access a computer.
The smartriverside program is working hard to help make sure that every family who needs a computer can get one. The ATT metrowifi provides internet access free of charge throughout the city. There are also 4 different free computer labs in the Emerson neighborhood.
Thanks for checking out my blog, stop back in soon!
Great job Mr. McCombs!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at you blogging! How exciting! Good job on modeling the new technology! Just think of all the trees we could save. What's more is the valuable differenciated homework that will get the students motivated to learn! :-)
