CHANGING LEARNING LOCATIONS
Dear Families,
Changing Learning Modes using the Learning Location Form
We need your help and understanding as we navigate our new normal of online and face-to-face instruction. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the changes as quickly as we did as the number of changes are increasing. There are many people involved in the process and many applications that need to be changed. Starting today, we will follow the schedule below for incoming Learning Location Changes. All changes must be completed through this form: Learning Location Change Form
Complete the Change Form September 2 – 4 - Student will begin new class on Tuesday, September 8
Complete the Change Form September 8-11 – Student will begin new class on Monday, September 14
Complete the Change Form September 14 – 18 – Student will begin new class on Tuesday, September 22
Complete the Change Form September 21 – 25 – Student will begin new class on Monday, September 28
This will allow all students who change to begin the first day of school for that week.
If a Face-to-Face student is out sick they do not move to online class. Families may contact the child’s teacher for missed school work if the child feels able.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this plan.

BIRTHDAY TREATS
Parents are permitted to recognize a child’s birthday by sending treats for the child’s homeroom to have during lunch.
At this time we are encouraging the purchase of frozen treats from the cafeteria for all students in the class.
If you choose to send something, please check with your child’s teacher first regarding any allergies in the class. For sanitation purposes, items should be individually wrapped. Some examples are Little Debbies or Hostess treats.
The following items are NOT permitted: balloons, goodie bags, gifts, candles, flowers, party hats, etc.
