Message from the Principal
Thank you for taking time to read another email message from us. I want to start by saying I hope you and your families are safe. This is a scary time in Oregon. I know many of you have been impacted by the wildfires, as have many of our teachers. Our superintendent closed schools today as a result. We have also been dealing with power and network issues. Kinder families, I am so sorry that we had to cancel our Kinder Night on Thursday. We will get it back on the calendar soon.
The good news is that on Monday, September 14th, school begins for your student and family. We will be running family meetings and working with your child through the Canvas App on their iPads. There are short videos HERE in English and HERE in Espanol to help you with signing in to that App. Students and families must understand this process to access school.
On Monday, your student should receive an automated message welcoming them to the 2020-2021 school year and reminding them that it’s time to learn (approximately 15-20 minutes before their first class begins). We are going to be supportive and flexible but please know- attendance is absolutely required. If you are not able to attend meetings and live teaching, you must be communicating with your teacher about your family's plan. We will work with you.
In addition, please be aware of the following details:
- Your student received an email (in their account) about an "End of Summer Course" in Canvas. That is a GREAT way to start working with your iPad again. It helps kids and families practice using some of the important tools.
- Everyday next week there will be a class meeting from 8:30-9:00am. By Friday evening (September 11th), you will be able to see all of the materials in your teacher's homepage on Canvas. Please practice signing in with your student's email and password and looking around. There will be a button to click so they can join their Class Meetings.
- Teachers will be in 1:1 family meetings from 9-4pm on Monday and Tuesday. They will push out activities in Canvas for kids to complete during those mornings. Please email them with questions but know that they'll be pretty booked up those first two days.
On Thursday and Friday, teachers will start teaching during the scheduled blocks (weekly schedule is located HERE on our website). We will continue to support and train students on EVERYTHING as we go.
We are so excited to begin this year. We know that it will not always be easy but we thank you for your partnership and support.
Please contact our Office Team with questions or if you need anything.
Mensaje del director
¡Hola Familias Wildcat!
La buena noticia es que el Lunes 14 de Septiembre, comienzan las clases para su estudiante y su familia. Llevaremos a cabo reuniones familiares y trabajaremos con su hijo/a a través de la aplicación Canvas en sus iPads. Hay videos cortos AQUÍ en inglés y AQUÍ en español para ayudarlo a iniciar una sesión en esta aplicación. Los estudiantes y las familias deben comprender este proceso para acceder al trabajo escolar.
El Lunes, su estudiante debería recibir un mensaje automático dándole la bienvenida al año escolar 2020-2021 y recordándole que es hora de aprender (aproximadamente 15-20 minutos antes de que comience su primera clase). Vamos a brindarles nuestro apoyo y seremos flexibles, pero tenga en cuenta que la asistencia es absolutamente necesaria. Si no puede asistir a reuniones y enseñanza en vivo, deberá comunicarse con su maestro sobre el plan de su familia. Trabajaremos con usted.
Además, tenga en cuenta los siguientes detalles:
- Su estudiante recibió un correo electrónico (en su cuenta) sobre un "Curso de fin de verano" en Canvas. Esa es una GRAN manera de comenzar a trabajar con su iPad nuevamente. Ayuda a los niños a practicar el uso de algunas de las herramientas importantes.
- Todos los días de la próxima semana habrá una reunión de clase de 8:30-9:00 am. Para el Viernes por la noche (11 de Septiembre), podra ver todos los materiales en la página de inicio de su maestro en Canvas. Por favor practique iniciando una sesión con el correo electrónico y la contraseña de su estudiante y navegue la aplicación. Habrá un botón para hacer clic para que puedan unirse a sus reuniones de clase.
- Los maestros estarán en reuniones familiares 1:1 de 9 a 4 pm los Lunes y Martes. Mandaran actividades en Canvas para que los niños las completen durante esas mañanas. Envíeles un correo electrónico con preguntas, pero sepa que estarán bastante ocupados esos dos primeros días.
Estamos muy emocionados de comenzar este año. Sabemos que no siempre será fácil, pero le agradecemos su colaboración y apoyo.
Comuníquese con nuestro equipo de oficina si tiene preguntas o si necesita algo.
