Important Information You Should Know

 Introduction of Myself

My name is Ms. Matos. Teaching is an absolute passion of mine. I am so excited to work with you and your child! It is going to be a year full of fun and learning. I know times are a little different right now, but I have faith that we will have an amazing school year together!

A little bit about me:

I am originally from Puerto Rico but I have lived in Keystone Heights, FL since 2003. I raised 4 of my 5 children in Keystone Heights. They are all grown up now and have blessed me with the privilege of being a grandma to 7 beautiful children. This will be my first year teaching here at Sparr Elementary and I am extremely excited to see what this year has in store for us all. It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I believe it is important to keep communication open between us and want to be sure you know I am here to talk to you whenever you feel the need.

My classroom paras will be Miss Rhodes and Ms. Robinson.

Safety

• Face Masks or Shields

All students must wear a mask or face shield, labeled with the child’s name. Students must wear masks in the classroom in order to maintain social distancing rules.

• Sanitizing

I will have a bottle of sanitizer which students will use when entering and exiting the room. I will also sanitize and clean all areas your child may come into contact within the room.

• Supplies

Please write your child’s name on his/her supplies. Students WILL NOT SHARE SUPPLIES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Platform - Distance Learning

Just in case we switch to distance learning:

Your child will be using a new learning platform called “Teams”. All the students will work in “Teams” for classwork.

Transportation

How will your child get to school? Bus, car line, or walker?

*Car Lines: Due to the social distancing rules, the car lines will take longer than usual. Students will carefully be dismissed to remain safe.

Communication

• Parent Portal Access

If you have not already, contact Milligan or Moore to create your parent portal account. If you have an email address, be sure to provide it as well.

• Class Dojo

Class Dojo is another form of communication. You can contact me with any questions you may have.
