Classroom Wish List In efforts to keep our children as healthy as possible, we use lots of disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer. If you could donate wipes, hand sanitizer, or tissues to our classroom, we would really appreciate it. We are always in need of the usual supplies, including copy paper, __**we are always in desperate need of copy paper**__, #2 pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, and colored copy paper. If you can spare any of these supplies we would gladly put them to good use. To make it easier, I have an online Wish List, please click below and check it out. media type="custom" key="27763975" width="122" height="120" align="center"

After School Tutoring Opportunities Do you need extra help? After school tutoring is available EVERY Monday (2:15pm - 3:00pm). Just let me know you are staying, so I can have what you need pulled together for you, like test forms, or quiz sheets. Students should come to tutoring appointments with specific questions for his or her teacher. Specific questions allow for tutoring to be the most efficient and effective, since specific needs can be identified and addressed rapidly.

To request tutoring with Mrs. Carnes either email me, elisa.carnes@barrow.k12.ga.us, or call the school and leave me a message, (770) 867-8181.

Please make arrangements for pickup at the front of the school promptly at 3:00pm.

Sign up for "Remind": Text/Email reminders for students and parents In an effort to enhance communication between myself and my students (and of course their parents), I participate in a text/email service called, Remind (previously known as “Remind 101”). I encourage my students and their parents to sign up for these reminders if they haven’t already done so. Please be mindful that texts from Remind may incur messaging fees. If you are uncomfortable with receiving these texts, you may opt to sign up for email reminders from the service. Again, this is in addition to, not in place of, our class website.

Many other teachers use Remind. You will need to sign up for each class separately. Even my homeroom reminders are separate from science and social studies reminders; if you have me for more than one class, you will have to sign up for each one separately. Remember, if you/your child is with me for multiple classes, a separate text must be sent for each class. If you have difficulty sending the requests, or have more questions, please let me know.

Advisement Folders (aka Wednesday Communication Folders) Every Wednesday, your child will bring home a folder containing important school correspondence and either a newsletter or grade sheets (we alternate information so check your signature sheet to verify the information you should receive on a particular week). It is crucial that you look for this folder, read its contents, and sign the enclosed parent signature sheet. This folder is due back to your child's homebase teacher the next morning. Students understand it is their responsibility to gather the information needed for their folder in each class during the day, get the folder from school to their home, bring it to a parent or guardians' attention, and deliver it back to homeroom the next morning. Letters will be issued on PRIDE cards for each day the folder is late.

Thank you for helping us increase communication with you and keep you better informed regarding your child's progress.
