Don Benito Fundamental - Updates 10/5/2020
Message from the Principal
I can't believe we are starting the eighth week of school. Thank you for continuing to support your child's learning. Students are showing resiliency during distance learning. Our first trimester ends October 23rd. Teachers will be working on report cards soon. Please make sure that students are submitting their weekly assignments. Although we are not having a formal day for parent/teacher conferences, you can contact the classroom teacher to get updates on your child's progress during their office hours for by scheduling an appointment. Reports will be available through the Parent Portal on November 2nd. This is a good time to sit down with your child to review their progress and set new goals for the second trimester. Teachers are also staring small groups for differentiated instruction.
Good news! The district will continue to support Google Meets. Teachers and students will be able to use Webex or Google meet for live instruction. Teachers continue to receive training on Canvas to make content more accessible to students. During our staff meetings, teachers are sharing their best practices for Canvas and learning from each other. We will also be discussing ways for students to access instruction on days when we have technical difficulties. I have been visiting distant learning classrooms and there is evidence throughout the school of rigorous, standards based instruction. We appreciate your feedback as we persevere to achieve excellence at Don Benito. Thank you!
Please read all the updates and information provided below.
Have a wonderful week!
Kind regards,
Dr. Bugarin
