Mr. Ogren's Music Class

There is no school Friday, due to the Pro-D Day, so the Spelling Test will be Thursday.

I am happy to inform you that your student has access to hundreds of eBooks using the school’s subscription to Raz-Kids, http://www.raz-kids.com. Students can read, listen to, and even self-record reading these books. Reading-comprehension quizzes along the way show the progress that your child is making.

Your child can access assignments on a computer, tablet, or phone, by going to

www.raz-kids.com/login/kogren0. (It’s a zero at the end of kogren0) You can also access RAZ-Kids from the class website – www.mrogren.com from the “Some Fun Links:” section.

Tuesday, October 21st is student photo day. You child needs to return the order form with a cheque Tuesday. I think you may also be able to pay online, but I am not to sure of the process.

The students should have brought a parent/teacher conference sign up sheet home today. Please indicate your top three choices and I will do my best to accommodate you choices.

They need to be returned by Wednesday, as I am away Thursday, and I need to send out the confirmations before Thursday.

This week’s Spelling is due Thursday because of the Pro-D Day Friday!
