Welcome back! It has been a unique first week of school, and it was truly wonderful to "see" all of our students participating remotely this week. We are learning how to do this together, and I am so proud of our staff for working hard to provide your children with a more robust remote learning experience. I popped into many Zooms this week, and I can't wait to see even more classes next week. It was so refreshing to see all of their happy faces.
Here are some important reminders:
Next week we will have another round of materials distribution. Your remote learning teachers will send you reminders next week, but please see the information below for your planning:
- Schedule
- August 27 - Grades K-2 (timeframes are 9:30 - 11:30 & 1:30 - 3:30)
- August 28 - Grades 3- 5 (timeframes are 9:30 - 11:30 & 1:30 - 3:30)
- Procedures
- Families will pull up in the front circle in their cars. Please do not walk-up to the building.
- Cars should have signs with student names and teacher names clearly visible for staff to see easily.
- Staff will bring new materials to car and collect prior materials along with the bags you initially received.
- For families with multiple students, you can pick up materials on one day. That day will be the day you pick up for the youngest sibling.
Fall assessments will also begin next week. Grades 3 - 5 will take their fall MAP assessments on Wednesday and Thursday, August 26 - 27. Your remote learning teachers will communicate more details to you next week prior to testing.
For families of kindergarten and first grade students, your teachers will reach out to you to try and schedule short, in-person assessments of your child's reading and math skills, if you are able yo do so. You will hear from your teachers next week to begin scheduling, and you will receive more information about the safety protocols and procedures that go along with the in-person academic assessments.
Thank you all again for your patience and understanding this week as we all continue to learn and grow together. If there is any support you need, please contact your child's teacher or our main office so we can assist you in any way we can.
Have a great weekend!
