Let’s Do This
See you on Tuesday, Trailblazers!
Meet the Teacher (Tuesday, August 16th)
Meet-the-Teacher is a time when students can make sure they feel confident knowing where their classroom is and who their teacher will be.
Please do your best to adhere to the respective grade level times. We are spacing them out to reduce traffic, parking concerns, and large numbers of people in the building. Thank you.
Depp teachers look forward to seeing all of the students and parents on the 16th!

Bloomz (Classroom Communication Tool)
Our primary communication from classroom to home is via the Bloomz.
Invitation emails will be sent out later this week. These emails will be sent to the primary parent only (as listed in our Progress Book account). If you have any questions about access, please contact your child’s teacher.
Bloomz is a learning management app and website that provides teachers with a simple way to effectively communicate between school and home. From the dashboard, teachers can share information in a variety of ways by creating posts, events, activities, assignments, and photo albums. Parents can sign up to receive app, email, or text notifications, and teachers can control a wide variety of factors, including how parents and guardians communicate (for example, with each other or only with the teacher), what type of information goes out to families, and whether to communicate in a parent or guardian’s preferred language.
Among the site’s many features are helpful tools such as those to schedule parent-teacher conferences, request and organize volunteer help, or send out visual updates of student activities. Photo, video, and file sharing, including through Google Drive or Classroom, mean that teachers don’t have to spend a lot of time getting important information out to kids and their families.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you are interested in volunteering at Depp, you will need to begin the background check process through Secure Volunteer. It’s easy and takes less than 5 minutes! There will be multiple volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
PTO News

School Supply Kits
If you ordered a school supply kit for your student(s) through 1st Day School Supplies it will be delivered to their assigned classroom and available during walkthroughs. Teachers will organize kits so there is no need to do so.
Didn’t get a chance to order? No worries, here is a link to the supply list for all grades.
