Berkley Community School

 

As we begin the last month of the school year, I pause to reflect on

how much our students have grown this year…physically, academically,

and socially. For all the fourth-grade students who will be moving up to middle school, it has been a pleasure teaching you for the past 5 years. I will miss you all and wish you much happiness. Remember….do your best and take care of you!

 

All Google accounts follow the student, so any work that has been completed will be accessible in the individual Google Drive folders. Students’ Google sign-in and passwords stay the same through 8th grade. Students’ Clever sign-in may be used for most of the summer to access the websites and programs that have been in place all year. The Clever badges will be voided on August 18, 2025 and new badges will be issued the first week of school in September. 

A Clever badge sign-in should be sent home with students on the last day. 

​

As we talked about in class, technology is important and a big part of life today, but it should not be everything.
