Parents' Page

I am so glad to have your child join me this year.  We have a lot of things to do and accomplish. Please make sure you check out all the other pages on my website.  The syllabi for both Reading and English are found under the class pages.  The autobiography unit gives a rundown on what the students will be writing about and expectations for completion of the project.  We also have available Edline for you.  This is the school site that you can get on and see what your child's grades are for his subjects and what past assignments he/she has done.  It will also let you know which assignments are missing.  It's a handy tool as grades are updated on a weekly basis by Tuesday night.  If you don't know how to get on line or don't know your password, call the office (596-2020), and they will contact Mrs. Walsh to make sure you get it.  You may also contact me by email at smcmackin@msad5.org with any questions or concerns.  I hope to hear from you. 


BLUE TEAM DISCIPLINE POLICY

STEP ONE -     Verbal or written warning (name on board, etc.).
                                Student will be warned to change his/her behavior and to focus on the lesson.

STEP TWO -    Teacher detention. Warnings have been ineffective and a detention has been assigned.
                                Students will be given a 24 hour notice. It is the student's responsibility to notify his/her parents of the detention.

STEP THREE - Referral to office. Warnings and detention notice have been ineffective.
                                The student's disruptive behavior warrants removal from the classroom and further disciplinary action by the Principal or Assistant Principal.
