MRS. VEGA's TEACHER PAGE 2024- 2025

Thank you for checking this page. I will be teaching your child Math, Science, and Social Studies. Your child will also have an ELA/Writing teacher for the other half of the day. 5th Graders have a Block 1 (homeroom) teacher and a Block 2 teacher.

Please use this webpage as a resource and check the Weekly Plan section for the learning focus each week. I will update it each Monday before leaving school. The "Math Help & Websites" page has homework links and videos to help students by lesson.

Students will be using their assignment notebook to write down the assignments daily. I also send out homework and class reminders via Remind app so my parents/guardians will be informed.

Sign-Up for REMIND to receive text blasts about important info and reminders for 5th Grade. Thank you to those of you who have already signed up!

Family Shout Outs

We are offering parents the opportunity to complete a "Shout Out" form to celebrate students' accomplishments outside of the school day that can include events such as team competitions, recitals, etc.

This form is linked to the Chelsea e-newsletter. It is also posted on our Chelsea page. Depending on the number of "shout outs" we receive, we will recognize students either on the morning announcements or on the monitors throughout the school. We are looking forward to acknowledging achievements by our students!

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.

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. 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."

ELearning Schedule

In case of inclement weather, our school will utilize Microsoft Teams. 5th Grade students know how to access assignments and announcements. In the event of an E-Learning Day, students will be expected to follow the schedule on the left. In addition, students will have a hard copy of the schedule. It can also be found in my downloads section. Students will be sent home with their district laptops prior to an e-learning day.
