Parent Contact Information

Hello parents and guardians!

Thanks for taking the time look at the blog.  This is my primary means of letting you know at home, what is happening in the class each day.  I usually post everything that we do (Classwork, homework, resources, extra practise, videos, etc.) on this page several times a day.  You can check the blog any time you want to see what we've been up to or you can subscribe to my blog by filling out your email on the right side of the page.

I would also like to compile email addresses from the parents/guardians in the class, so that I can occasionally send out group emails about important events, projects etc.  You can click on the contact info page at the bottom of this post to fill in the contact information of up to two people for each student.  You can also add phone numbers for me to reach you if you'd like.

I actually prefer if you email me directly using my board email address brian.kaufman@yrdsb.edu.on.ca  I will generally check my work email during the working day and I will try to make sure that I get back to you as quickly as possible.  Of course you can always call the school at (905) 727-6642 to reach me directly, or if I'm teaching, leave a message on my voicemail.
