Important Tools to Help Your 4th Grader Be Successful This Year!!

Communication is an important part of your child's success, so we offer a variety of communication tools to help you stay informed.  
  • Homework Agenda - Each morning, your child is required to copy their daily classwork/homework assignments in their Homework Agendas.  This is used to remind the students what their homework is each night (much like how a grocery list reminds us what to purchase at the grocery store).  I encourage you to check your child's agenda each day to help your child stay on top of his or her daily assignments.
  • PowerSchool - Hickman is now using PowerSchool to post your child's grades online.  I will update grades on PowerSchool at least once a week, and we encourage you and your child to check grades each week (we will now be able to see how often you and your child check it!!) to be sure all assignments have been turned in and to check grades.  It will be your child’s responsibility to check PowerSchool and turn in any missing assignments promptly.  If an assignment is on PowerSchool and it is not turned in within a week, they will only receive 50% credit.  They are welcome to use the school computers before school, after school, or during recesses. 
  • Remind App - Please download the free Remind app to receive text or email reminders about important 4th grade news (reminders about important due dates, tests, projects, upcoming field trips/events/fundraisers/class parties, last minute announcements or schedule changes, and even pictures).  Remind uses a random telephone number and will not display anyone's personal information like you might find on a group text.  It is a one-way communication device, so you will not be able to send messages back to the teachers.  We are only allowed a limited number of characters for each text, so I apologize if they are short and direct.  :o) To subscribe to Remind, please text the message @7e633e  to the number 81010. 
  • Class Dojo Behavior App - Class Dojo is a class behavior system where students can earn and lose points for specific positive and negative behavior. Students and parents can create an account and view their child's points (including specific behaviors that caused them to earn or lose points).  Students receive one Dojo ticket for each point they earn, and we hold a drawing for a prize from the prize box each week.  The more points/tickets your child has earned, the better their chances that they will be chosen to receive a prize.
