Homework for the week 9-9-19 (Due 9-13-19)

7th Grade: I have set up Khan Academy for students to do homework. Details about homework expectations are in the homework link and in this FAQ. Most students who have their Khan tied to their CPS email are already added with me as their coach for this year. I will give any student not connected time in class on Tuesday to create Khan accounts and/or add me as their coach.

Math Week 9-3-19

Hello all,


As we get homerooms organized, I will be spending this week on routines and procedures. Students will learn how to set up math notebooks, log-in to CPS email and Google classrooms, help establish classroom expectations/consequences, and practice being a community of learners. I hope to start math content homework next week on Khan Academy. I am excited to meet so many new students and parents/guardians. I am looking forward to a great year!


--Mr. Albrecht

Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!

Dear Parents and Students:

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at Ray Elementary!  I hope everyone had an excellent and relaxing summer. The middle school team is looking forward to a school year filled with a love for learning and growth. We welcome regular and consistent communication and partnership in the education of your child. Parental support will be essential!  

The CPS vision statement is cool!

In young people, a high-quality education develops not only strong academic skills, but also a love of learning (Ray’s Vision too!), the ability to work with others, the motivation to take initiative, the experience to solve problems creatively, the knowledge to live healthy lives, and the desire to become active citizens in their communities.

Grades:

Current grades are posted weekly to communicate progress to students and parents/guardians on Parent Portal (https://parent.cps.k12.il.us ). My classroom blog includes links to homework assignments, assignment due dates, and a variety of other helpful information.

 Communication:

1. email: lalbrecht@cps.edu (best way to reach me, I try for a response within 24 hours!)
2. blog (updated weekly): http://304albrecht.blogspot.com/ (Current Supply list is posted!)
3. Parent Portal (updated weekly): https://parent.cps.k12.il.us 
4. Class Dojo: https://www.classdojo.com/ Class Codes will be sent home the first week of school. This is a great way to send text messages between home and school, monitor student behavior, and get updates about what is going on in the classroom. I usually check Dojo several times between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days. 

 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Albrecht

Dig this video! This is what I am hoping to see with our students!
