September 1st - September 11th
The FIRST TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL are district minimum days for ALL* students.
Please plan for your 2nd through 5th-grade child to attend Zoom meetings with their teacher and classmates from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm with scheduled breaks and lunch in between. (Students will split into AM and PM groups after the first two weeks, but families will be notified of their grouping no later than this Friday, September 4th.)
*Kindergarten, 1st Grade and SUCSESS have unique schedules. Teachers will send more information to families in a separate communication.
Chromebooks
IMPORTANT: Wrong Charging Cord... OMG!
In the process of cleaning and sanitizing the devices for distribution day, some cords got into the distribution bags with the wrong generation Chromebook!
So, PLEASE check your Chromebook and cord and test it out. We are available from 9:30 to 2:30 tomorrow (Monday) to switch out your cord with the correct one! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!!!

1st Day of School: Prisk's Zoom Meeting Backup Plan!
Each teacher will have a Zoom link for their students and we'd love it if everyone was able to get into Zoom on the first try. BUT, we have a backup plan just in case anyone has trouble. We'll go back to good ol' Google Meet!
Below are the Google Meet "meeting names" for each teacher as a backup to Zoom. I'm pretty sure Google Meet will remain a backup throughout the year (although teachers might change their "meeting name" after the first few days or so...).

Beginning Week #3 (September 14th)
There are currently three different schedules for Prisk as shown below (scroll down for larger images):
1) SUCSESS Program
2) Kindergarten
3) 1st through 5th Grade
Please Note: Teachers have flexibility within these time-frames to adjust the instruction to meet their students' needs. However, the start times, end times, and scheduled lunchtimes will not be altered. All schedules were built with a common lunchtime for families with students at varying grade-levels.
SUCSESS Program
Kindergarten
1st Grade Through 5th Grade
Please Note:
All Thursdays* at Prisk are "Early Release" days for teacher planning and collaboration. Instruction ends at 2:30pm every Thursday.
District Minimum Days* occur throughout the year on days such as Back-to-School Night, Elementary Parent/Teacher Conferences, etc... Instruction ends at 2:00pm on all district minimum days.
*Teachers will make slight adjustments on Thursdays and district minimum days to ensure equitable instructional time for both the AM and PM groups.
