Hamer Teachers will be at Hamer Elem. from 7:45am to 3:00pm. (Some teachers have scheduled meeting times with parents. If you have a scheduled meeting time, please stick to that schedule.)
Parents are invited to communicate with their children's teachers in one way or another during this Check-in Day. Teachers will be available to meet with you in person and/or communicate with you using the WJ App (Rooms), email, etc. We encourage all parents to log in to Otus from home ahead of time to check their children's grades. (If you are unable to log in to your parent account, have your kids log in to their account to show you their grades.) If needed, Mr. Reyna, our Tech Supervisor, can help with Otus or WJ App log-ins. reynaj@wjsd.org
Teachers are looking forward to communicating with parents to support our wonderful students. Please don't wait until the end of the Semester to address concerns.
