Dear Parents,

Welcome to Room 34's website!  I am a firm believer that strong parent-teacher communication is essential in order to maximize student learning.  With that in mind, it is my hope that this website will help you communicate with me.  In addition to having the option of calling me at school (696-1411 x2534) or sending a note with your child, I can also be reached via e-mail.  If you ever have a question, concern, or something you would like to share with me, please feel free to use the e-mail link located to the left.  I check my e-mail multiple times each day (and during evenings and weekends) and make it a priority to be prompt in responding to messages.  

In addition to providing another method of communication, another one of my goals for mrcoley.com is that it will keep you up-to-date on what we're learning in the classroom.  Each week, the students' spelling words will be posted, and a listing of daily homework assignments can be found on the Homework page.  In order to give you an idea of what's to come, important dates for things like upcoming tests and projects will be constantly updated on the Calendar page.  If you want a more detailed look at what we're learning in the classroom, you can visit The Daily Blog, a page filled with student-written articles on what's taking place in Room 34.  As the year progresses, the Art page will display the work of artists we study, as well as student-created artwork.  Finally, be sure to take some time and listen to ColeyCast, our classroom's very own podcast!

Since material published to the Internet can be seen by the world, parent permission must be obtained before I can display children's work on this site.  For details on exactly how student work will be displayed, please view our classroom's Internet Release Form .

Again, welcome to Room 34's home on the Web.  Any feedback regarding how I can make this site better would be greatly appreciated.  For more information about the classroom, please visit the links at the top of this page.  Enjoy the site!

Sincerely,

Brent Coley
