Hiawatha Elementary
Week of May 11th
Hello Husky Families-
I hope this newsletter continues to find you all healthy and well. We are planning to have a student belonging pick up the week of June. 1st. We will communicate a schedule soon that will include a day and time for you to pull up to Hiawatha and we will have your child’s supplies and medication (if applicable) to place right in your car. As soon as we have the schedule finalized we will communicate with you.
Registration is open for all returning students for the 2020-2021 school year. Please log in and complete your child’s registration online. Please look for registration codes in your email and visit our website for additional information. In order to effectively plan for class sections for next school year, we ask that all returning students complete the online registration process by May 30. The entire process, including payment, can be completed online. If you prefer to pay in person at a later date, you will be able to select that option through the online registration process. All snap codes have been emailed out, please double check your spam/junk filter for these important emails.
Mark your calendars for our 5th grade Farewell. It has been planned for Wednesday May 27th at 6:00 p.m. We will be communicating with families how the plan for our virtual celebration will take place.
Remote Learning will continue Monday-Friday next week. Friday will be a planning day for teachers. Remember all assignments for the week are posted on Monday morning. It is very important that your child is completing these weekly assignments and joining their class on the weekly zoom meetings. This is how we are taking attendance and keeping connected to our students. Please let us know if you or your child need any support with remote learning.
Thank you to all the families that came out to wave to us at the parade. We all miss your children so much and it warms our hearts to be able to see them even from a distance! As always, we are here to offer any support to you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to email us for any assistance you may need. Remember we are all in this together and will come out of this situation stronger than ever.
We look forward to continuing to see your students on their Zoom calls. We miss you all! Stay well!

Remote Learning Tips
Here are a few tips to help you as you create a new learning routine at home….
Set a schedule for your child to follow.
Find a quiet place for your child to sit and work without distractions such as toys, tv, etc.
Have your child wear headphones to help them with outside noises and help them stay focused.
School work does not need to be completed during the normal school hours. It is okay if the evening time is better for you and your child to work on school work together.
Most importantly remain flexible! This is new for everyone and will take some time for everyone to fall into a good routine.
A few independent activities that all students can work on without any adult assistance include the following:
Reading/listening to a book on MyOn or Epic
IXL practice
eSpark/DreamBox
Lexia
Journal writing
Coloring and putting puzzles together are great activities as well.
Join us for Music, P.E., Science and Art

Our staff is continuing to upload resources and activities to our PowerLearning pages and providing e-learning resources for our students to continue to learn at home. Reminder you can find your student’s classroom teacher by going on our website and clicking under Staff Directory to find their name and link.
