Mrs. Gallant's Math & Science Class
Week of May 10-14
Happy Mother's Day!
I would like to say a big Happy Mother's Day to all our students' moms! From those that are biological, grand, step, or have just taken that responsibility, you all are treasures beyond measure. Thank you for your dedication and compassion every day. And to our Dad's that support us at every turn, thank you as well! A parent's job is the most important one we will ever be given. It is the one that echoes throughout the generations and makes the biggest impact in our society. Without the amazing adults who guide our children at every step and have assumed that most valuable place of honor, we would be lost. May you all enjoy this special day!
As always, if you have questions, or need anything, please do not hesitate to email me at genesis.gallant@onslow.k12.nc.us.
What We're Learning
Math
Science
In Science, we are creating Virtual Studio Boards that tell the story of what we have learned in science this year.
Remote Learning - Only for those affected by COVID restrictions
If you have to keep your student home due to COVID restrictions, let me know and I will make sure he or she can work remotely. I use the Class Notebook in Teams to post our daily classwork. Your student will go into Teams, click the Class Notebook tab, click on the icon that looks like leaning books, then click their name to see what assignments they have. Students can print from home or work directly in Class Notebook using the "Draw" tool at the top of the screen. We have done this many times in class, so they should all be very familiar with it. I will also include a page with a list of assignments/dates that students can use as a checklist.
Additionally, I use the "Content Library" section of Class Notebook to show the work we have done as a class, which can be used to help at home.
Graded assignments will come straight through the Teams assignment feature.
Email me to let me know immediately if there are any issues with the remote lessons.
Dismissal Changes
Thank you all for making the transition to using SDM for our afternoon car line! A few reminders as we enter a new week....
1) Be sure the School Dismissal Manager App is downloaded on your phone,
2) The app can access your camera
3) Anyone who is picking up your child/has permission to pick up your child is loaded in the app
4) Please have the app ready when you pull up to scan the QR code
Parents will scan a QR code when they arrive to school. The QR code will be on large signs, marked with red flags. You are unable to scan the code until 2:55. Please note that you cannot pull forward to the designated loading zone until 2:55.
Reminders for all:
*As a reminder, all dismissal changes are to be made through the app. Changes can now be made until 1:55.
*Dismissal for our students begins at 3:15

Online Payments for School Fees
Please continue to pay school fees! If you have any outstanding fees (including library books), they will follow your student into their next grade. If you are having financial difficulties, I can send home a fee waiver application, just let me know.
To pay fees, the district is providing our school community the option of a new online payment system, School Cash Online. This system will minimize cash and check payments at our schools and allow parents to make online payments from home.
Go to - https://onslow.schoolcashonline.com/
**All students are required to pay 1:1 device fees**
*Any outstanding fees will also be attached to the student. i.e. lost/damaged books, non-returned/lost laptops and chargers.
Art fee - $1.00
Instructional Supply fee - $5.00
1:1 fee - $25.00
