Good morning,
I wanted to welcome you to “Rooms”, our new communication tool. For the past several years we have used Class Dojo. “Rooms” provides a more secure platform and will be our communication tool moving forward. “Rooms” will function in the same manner and allow my staff a way to strengthen our school-to-home communications. In addition to your teacher’s classroom account, I too have an account for all of B.C. Cate Elementary School and will share with you building messages, important dates, and pictures. I have asked my staff to keep their communications to you within the business hours and would ask that this is reciprocated. The reason for this is that we all have our own family obligations to attend to after school hours and taking some time away from digital devices each day also allows us to model to our children good digital citizenship.
Some teachers may choose not to use “Rooms” at this time and communicate through more traditional methods such as student planners, phone calls, e-mail, etc.
Thank you in advance for your patience as we adjust to this new system,
Mr. Nolan
