Welcome!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to our Grade 4 blog!  My name is Mrs. McIntosh and I am so happy to be your child's Grade 4 teacher this year. This blog will update you on what is happening in our classroom and school with notes from me. It will also keep you posted of important dates, as well as provide you a quick link to websites that will be useful for you and your child. Please see "Follow by Email" at the side of this blog and enter your email address. This will give you instant updates when information has been posted on our blog without having to log onto this site to read it. Please do visit the blog when you are able.  If English is not your first language, there is a drop down menu through Google Translate that will provide translations in numerous languages. Please let any other parent/family know about this feature if needed. 


The students will also be using Google Classroom to check homework assignments and important information they will need to continue their success at school. This is a private forum that allows only YRDSB staff and students to access and post information.  Some homework assignments may also be required to be completed and submitted through their Google drive with their student "gapps" account. 

Your child should be able to gain access as we have been using our Google drive these past few weeks.
To gain access to the Google drive, Google classroom and Blogger:
1. Log on to the Google page.
2. Look for the set of 9 small squares in the top right hand corner and click on it. 
3. You will see various icons.  Select which path you wish to access. If you do not see the icon you are searching for, click "More" or "Even More".  Your child will need their student number and password.  Their email address for the google drive is
student number@gapps.yrdsb.ca

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at paula.mcintosh@yrdsb.ca , 289 746-3276 ext. 233 or through the Agenda.

Sincerely,

Paula McIntosh
