I have been working on revising our Team Mindcrafters e-mail list. Hopefully, this one is able to reach everyone who would like to see it.
If you have given us your e-mail address and did not receive this message on one of the accounts, it could be that it is being caught in your Spam filter. There are over 100 e-mails in this list which could easily be perceived as bulk Spam.
If you ever cannot find an e-mail from us, all messages are eventually posted and archived to the class website at:
This is probably a good opportunity to discuss proper use of e-mail when communicating.
Here are some "Do's and Don'ts"
Do:
- e-mail us if you have a quick concern or question. We'll try to get back to you within 24 hours, usually sooner.
- keep in mind that your child has 3 teachers. Try to e-mail the teacher you have a question for rather than the homeroom teacher. Sometimes it can be helpful to keep all teachers on the team in the loop. Please CC: (carbon copy) the other teachers if needed.
- e-mail us sharing something positive about your child's experience at school. This can really make our day.
Don't:
- expect an immediate response. Please don't e-mail anything that is time sensitive ("We forgot to give our child her medication this morning. Could she be sent to he nurse?") It's better to call the office for situations like this.
- send lengthy e-mails. This is another situation where a phone call is probably more efficient and appropriate.
- e-mail if you are upset or feeling emotionally charged. Its always better to wait until you are calm and set up an appointment or phone conference to discuss a problem.
We are looking forward to working with you and your child this year!
