Mrs. Melby's 2023-2024 Teacher Page

Dear parents, guardians and students,

Please make sure your student comes to school dressed to go outside...weather can change suddenly and unexpectedly. Students will have outdoor recess everyday unless the weather is inclement. In addition, many times students will go outside for PE. Thank you so much:)

Please use this page as a resource for important information. I update the homework page daily and the "This Week in Class" usually on Sundays. Please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for your support and together we will make this an amazing year.

Communication

I am committed to establishing a strong parent-teacher relationship. I will be using this teacher webpage and email blasts along with the Remind app to communicate on a regular basis. You will be able to find the daily homework assignments in the assignments tab. The weekly schedule is posted in the "This Week in Class" tab.

If you would like to receive text updates about your child's math/adv. math class with information on homework and general reminders or announcements, then please click the Remind link that corresponds to your child's Math block.

ClassLink at Home

Students can access ClassLink from their home computers! Directions for how to access the ClassLink launchpad from home are in the downloads section of this page. In order for students to not have to reenter usernames and passwords they will need to add an extension to their web browser. Directions for how to do that are also linked to this page. If the extension is not added then login credentials will have to be entered each time.

This information can also be found on the district website under "Student/Parent Technology Tutorials."

Erin's Law Presentations: Governor Pat Quinn signed Erin's Law in January of 2013, which requires all schools in the state of Illinois to provide age appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention education programs for students in grades Pre-K through 12. The Chelsea Intermediate School Social Workers will be teaching each lesson in the child’s classroom. The "Think First and Stay Safe" program will be the curriculum utilized for these lessons with a focus on Child Lures.

Birthday Reminder: Birthdays are definitely a special day for students and I will recognize each individual birthday...even half birthdays:) That being said, per our district policy, invitations are not to be handed out at school unless there is one for every student in the class. In addition, no food of any kind is allowed to be sent to school for birthdays or parties. You are more than welcome to send a non-food item (pen, pencil ,etc.) for each student in class. We have 26 students in our homeroom (block 1) and 22 students in block 2. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
