Q and A

Questions I have received from parents and students with answers:
 
1. What Zoom meetings does my child need to be present for?
I would highly suggest that your child is present for their Advocacy Zoom meeting. This is held with their Advocacy teacher. However, we also are aware that some students won't be able to make the meeting.
 
2. What are "office hours" and does my child need to be present during this time? 
"Office hours" is the time in which the teacher is available by Zoom to answer any questions from either parents or students. Students do not need to be present during this time but are welcome to attend to check in or ask their questions. Parents, feel free to attend to ask questions of the teacher. Being that the purpose of this time is to answer questions, attendees without questions will be muted in order to keep the time available and appropriate to the purpose. 
 
3. Who is in charge of my students learning?
The teachers in the 3/4 Pod are planning together so that students will still get the standards that would have been taught in the school room this quarter. However, in order to simplify the distance learning, which is new to all of us, students have been grouped in their Advocacy classes and will receive most/all of their assignments and information from their Advocacy teacher. The parents primary contact for all classes should be their child's Advocacy teacher.

Dear parents, 

As Spring Break comes to a close, teachers are working hard to plan for online learning. As such, you will be receiving the Moby Max login for your child today. More information regarding the online learning will be posted tomorrow. On a side note, it has been determined that the  Emergency Paper Work Packets that were sent home at the end of the quarter will be optional. I look forward to working with the students again!
 
Best wishes, 
Mrs. Maslen

Mystery Science has opened all of their lessons, for free, through June for all parents and teachers. The students love these mysteries at school and can watch and complete them if they are bored at home. 

4th Grade Science- Week of 3/16/2020

Due to the school closure, I gave each student two packets. (Note: If your child was not here on Friday, you can stop at the Westgate office and pick up your child's packets or email me and I can send a digital copy.) One packet has a green colored title page; this packet is in case school is closed longer than our Spring Break. The second packet has a white cover sheet; this packet is the work due for this week. The subject is Spring Equinox and asks students to write out answers. These answers can be written on these pages and returned or written online and shared with me. Students must restate the question and answer each question fully. 
 
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] . Thank you for your support!

3rd Grade Science: Week of March 9, 2020

This week, students will be taking a couple pre-assessments so that I can plan next quarters unit, Natural Hazards. We will also be completing a couple fun science experiments during the week. 

Mrs. Maslen will only accept this quarters work until Wedneday!

Last day to turn in missing work to Mrs. Maslen's class is on Wednesday. The gradebook is up to date as of the afternoon of 3/8/2020.

Missing Assignments

Please see the files above if your child is missing any assignments. If you are not sure of their assignment/grade status, please check IC (Infinite Campus); directions on how to do this are on the Westgate website, under the parent section
Assignments that are missing from the above file list are assignments that were in class assignments only and can not be made up.
