Outdoor Recess
With the weather getting colder, please make sure you are dressing your child in layers when possible. We will still be going outside each day, weather permitting, and there will be some days that are colder than others.
Snacks
We will not eat lunch until 1:00 each day, so please provide a snack for your child. They will be able to have their snack at a designated time provided by your child's teacher.
Chromebook
Please make sure your child brings their CHARGED Chromebook each and every day. We use this tool every day for multiple activities. Having them bring their charger each day is also a great idea.
Remote Learner's Specials Time
Remote learners are welcome to connect with their Specials teachers one day a week for the first 15-20 minutes of their Specials time. This will allow students to check-in, receive guidance on the lesson objectives and ask questions about weekly Seesaw activities. After the 15-20 min Webex, remote learners are encouraged to work on the Seesaw lessons independently. These Webex meetings are NOT mandatory.
The Specials Webex Schedule is:
Tuesdays - Art
Wednesdays - PE
Thursdays - Music
