Sabercat Update
October 26, 2020
COVID 19 and Smith Middle School
- If someone in the family is experiencing any COVID symptoms, please keep your student(s) home until you know definitively the family member is not COVID positive.
- If a student is experiencing symptoms, keep them home until you are sure it is not COVID.
- If someone in your household is COVID positive, the whole family must quarantine for 14 days.
- If a student is sent home to quarantine due to exposure, keep them at home and away from others for 14 days. They can not participate in or attend extracurricular activities that could expose others.
With Halloween, many of our students are talking of parties and get-togethers. We are very concerned about the number of exposures and increased cases of COVID 19 that will result. Please protect your family and ours by staying home, following the safety protocols.
The reality is, when a student with COVID exposes students on campus, it affects so many lives. Not only the student, but all those who are exposed are impacted. That includes teachers, staff members, students, and their families. We have to work together to stop the spread.
Schoology Update
Schoology allows teachers to capture grades for a wide variety of activities. The Schoology gradebook includes formative activities that are used to assess student understanding of what is being taught during lessons and is not a complete reflection of a student’s final grade for a skill or concept. To prevent confusion, grade viewing access has been turned off in Schoology. Parents should visit the Home Access Center to view the official gradebook.
Donations for the Susan G. Komen Foundation will be accepted on School Cash Online October 21 - October 30.
