7 Blue Welcome Note

Thursday, August 30, 2018

 

Dear 7 Blue Families,

Welcome to the 7 Blue Team! We have had a great first week getting to know each other, touring the building, and going over expectations and routines to have a wonderful year.

 

Our relationship with 7 Blue parents is an essential part of our team’s success, and we wanted to make you aware of how to contact us as well as how to stay connected with the team. We will consistently make efforts to keep you informed of our team activities, assignments, assessments and due dates through emails like this, the Schoology team website, and our newsletter that will be posted on the OMS website.

 

We are all readily available by email. We check our email periodically throughout the day, but sometimes may not have enough time to send a thorough reply. Please allow up to 24 hours for a response, although we will almost always reply within the day your email was originally sent. If you have a question or concern, or if you want to make us aware of something that involves your child, please email your child’s homeroom teacher. If you want to email the team as a whole, you can also use the team email address at the bottom of the list. Please keep in mind that the email will go to all six of us as well as World Language and Allied Arts teachers.

 

Our team website is Schoology.

This site (or app) is connected with Power School. Your child is currently in one Group (7 Blue Team) and at least 4 Courses (Science, Geography, Math, and ELA). Your child’s Allied Arts/World Language/Learning Skills teachers will have courses as well.

 

You can connect with your child’s Groups and Courses so that you can see information such as assignments, due dates, test and quiz dates, field trips and spirit announcements.

 

 

Go to this link: http://schools.shrewsburyma.gov/it/Schoology-Parent-Instructions.cfm

 

On the left click on “Account Creation Instructions”.

Once you are in you can look at any group or course your child belongs to. We recommend book-marking the link to Schoology, so that you have quick/easy access to it.

 

We also suggest you go into the Power School Parent Portal http://schools.shrewsburyma.gov/it/powerschoolparentportal.cfm to be sure all of your information (email, phone numbers, address) are up to date. It is important to keep your email address up-to-date to continue to get our newsletters and updates.

Thanks for reading! Again, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out! We look forward to working with your child this school year, and meeting you in the near future!
