MPES Learning At Home
Keeping our Students Engaged
March 30 - April 3
Message from Mrs. Mamon
Below you will find links to the learning opportunities that our teachers have developed for the week of March 30 - April 3. These lessons, learning activities and assignments are for review, practice and enrichment. The plans include a blend of activities that can be done either with or without access to technology. Our goal is to provide ideas to keep students engaged and learning during this time. While these activities are for review and enrichment only, we do encourage students to participate to keep their learning going! Please reach out to me or your child's teacher if you have questions about any of the learning activities or online programs.
The Virginia Department of Education has issued an online guide for parents and other caregivers. COVID-19: A Parent Guide for School-Aged Children is available on their website and includes information on in-home learning activities, social distancing and other topics.
Please continue to send pictures of our students learning at home or spending time with their families. I love seeing and sharing them! Snap a picture and send it to me at stacey.mamon@mpark.net.
I hope that you are all staying healthy and safe during this time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mamon

A Few Notes About Learning at Home
Parents are encouraged to have their child keep a log of completed activities in their agenda, a notebook, on a few sheets of paper or on an electronic document as they complete them each day. They will then be able to share them with their teacher when school resumes.
Some elementary teachers utilize Canvas while in school to share resources and assignments. Students can access their teacher’s Canvas pages when at home by logging into https://mpcs.instructure.com using the same username and password as Clever.
Click on the links below to find learning activities for your child to complete at home during the time when our schools are closed. Choose and complete activities from each section. If you have any questions concerning the activities below, please email your child’s teacher.
MPCS Food Distribution Continues
MPCS is providing prepackaged grab-and-go meals at no charge to all children, age 18 and under. Meal pickup will take place on Tuesdays at the main entrance of Manassas Park High School between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
In order to minimize the number of times parents must bring their children to the distribution site, a weekly set of prepackaged breakfasts and lunches will be provided on Tuesdays. All meals will be the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
For the safety of everyone, it is important to follow the guidance supplied by our volunteers to maintain safe social distancing practices and vehicle passage.
