3. How can I tell what my child is doing in class or if he/she has any homework?
An agenda is written on the board everyday and should be copied by your child in his/her agenda book. If your child was sick or you are in question of what was written in the agenda book, you can view the agenda for the week on the website www.schoolnotes.com. Click on Miss Munson and it will bring up the current agenda for 6th Grade Social Studies. You can also view your child’s current grade in Powergrade.
4. How can I contact my teacher?
Email is the best way to contact me. My email address is munsonm@usd385.org. You can also contact me by phone at 316-733-5061.
5. What materials will be needed?
It is very important that each student bring the following materials to class each day:
1. Pen & Pencil
2. Paper
3. Ruler
4. Colored Pencils
5. Dry Erase Marker
6. Highlighter
7. 2in. 3-ring binder labeled “6th Grade Social Studies”
(It would be best if students kept everything in this one folder with ruler in rings while pen, pencil, and colored pencils are kept in zipper pouch, though this is not required. Good organization skills= increased likelihood of being successful!)
