Hello and Welcome,
     My name is Dale Heimbigner and I teach Explore Year 1 and Year 2 Math.  This is my 24th year teaching Math and can still say it's great.  I graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1985, earned my Masters in 1999 and my Administrative Degree in 2002.  I've taught Middle School-aged students for 18 years, coached in the Middle School and High School for all of those years and was Athletic Director for 11 years.  I'm married  with 3 kids; 2 boys in high school and a daughter in college.
     It is important that your children keep track of their work in their Planners.  This Swift site is a back-up, but will not always be current.  Their planners should be.

     My class rules and expectations of the kids have been outlined in the letter I sent home the first week of school, but I think it all comes down to a couple of things.  Successful experiences come to those who work hard, stay organized and take responsibility for themselves. 
Responsibility to get work completed and turned in, responsibility for good behavior and the responsibility to learn.  These are keys to success in my class.
     I will post assignments in the Homework section of this site.  click on the "Homework" tab.   The most current assignment is listed at the top .  Please check your student's Math folder and planner when you get a chance.  Look for the Friday Folder and be sure it is returned on Monday.  Also, look for their Math Homework Record sheet with a stamp on the grade your child earned for individual assignments.  If there is not a stamp over a grade it means they were absent when the assignment was given, the assignment isn't corrected or it just did not get stamp. Inany case the Homework record sheet  needs to be signed and returned on Monday because it is worth 10 points if brought back signed and on time.   The total points earned for the week will go on Skyward. 
     You can check your child's grade on Skyward.  click the "Grades" tab above or go to the "Links" tab.  There are many things due on Monday so grades will be updated in Skyward on Monday or Tuesday evenings.   This includes missing, late and redo work.
     Welcome and I look forward to meeting all of you.   Mr. Heimbigner  (Mr. H.)
