Classroom Communication

Hi Parents!

I want to make sure that you are informed about everything happening in your daughter's classroom this  year, and I will strive to communicate with you in the way that best meets your needs and fits the 21st century world that we live in :) Here are the ways to communicate with me, receive updates, and learn about all of the exciting things happening in room 402 this year!


  • Check out my classroom blog for weekly updates, pictures, extra credit opportunities, and more!
  • Look for a weekly newsletter and graded papers going home on Monday.  
  • Follow our class on twitter.com with our class screen name @mrsburns19girls for pictures and tweets from the student of the week!
  • Sign up for our Bloomz account to receive quick updates on parent/teacher conferences, classroom announcements, volunteer opportunities, pictures, etc. See information below! 
  • If you would like to receive text updates of quick classroom announcements to your cell phone, you can sign up for "Remind Me." See information below!
  • You may always email me at chelsea.burns@spartanburg2.k12.sc.us or call me at (864) 814-3870 ext. 4402, and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
