Hello and Welcome,
My name is Dale
Heimbigner and I teach Explore Year 1 and Year 2
Math. This is my 25th 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 who
graduated from college this past year to become a Math
teacher. She's recently married and my wife and I are hoping
for grandkids.......
►My class rules and expectations of
the kids have been outlined in the letter in the
documents portion of this site or I send the
letter home the first week of school. 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.
► It is important that your children
keep track of their work on their homework record sheet.
They also have planners to keep information in. The Swift
site is a back-up and will not always be current, but their
HWR and planners should be.
►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 signed and
returned after the weekend. Also, look for their
Math Homework Record sheet (HWR) 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 or the
assignment isn't corrected. In any case, the Homework record
sheet needs to be turned in on Friday because it is
worth 10 points if turned in on time. The
assignment and points earned for each assignment will be on
Skyward.
If your child has a missing
assignment, you will recieve an email informing you of their
required attendance at the next homework center and eventual Friday
school if the work does not get completed and turned
in.
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.)
Go to the "Links" tab
