Fifth Grade-

***5th Grade IMPORTANT MESSAGE ***
Hello Parents and guardians:
    WELCOME BACK to our new 2022-2023 school year! I am looking forward to an amazing school year with your child! Please check this site daily for any new news or information.  I will list homework daily on the website section.  All homework must be done on a daily basis, please read more about my homework policy on my homework page.  Studying is also homework.

In the event that it is needed at any time, I will also have your child sign into my Google Classroom.  If we (or any individual student) has to flip back into virtual mode, all my work will be posted on and through Google Classroom.  

Google classroom WILL ONLY be used when a student must be virtual! Please know that virtual students are only accepted when a student has a Covid diagnosis, or under the approval of Mr. DiCicco due to extreme measures or circumstances. STUDENTS CANNOT FLIP INTO VIRTUAL MODE WHEN THEY ARE HOME SICK FOR A DAY OR TWO! 

I will  be posting Classroom work and/or any other class documents onto Google classroom.  It is expected that your child pay attention in class and keep their important class information and notes organized.  

INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING PLAN

      - Below you will see an individualized learning plan. What the individualized learning plan is it is a plan that we are teachers have written up for students who plan to do work at home virtually. This plan needs to be followed as it is written.  Please make sure if your child is planning on doing virtual learning that he or she will follow the plan accordingly so that the school year can continue as smoothly as possible. 

Please see the Individualized Learning Plan below!
