Looking Ahead....

April 26 at 9:00 am- Place-Based Learning Field Trip to the Andy Griffith Playhouse-
Rosie Revere, Engineer and Friends. This is a musical production being provided by Theatreworks, USA from New York. We are excited to have this opportunity. Please text or email Ms. Willard to let me know if your child and any parents will be attending this event. I have to order our tickets ahead of time. There is no charge for this event.
Seesaw Student Assignments & Family Support
Please support your child's virtual learning by making sure they are working on Seesaw everyday. Even on the days we Google Meet with them, they will still have Seesaw assignments to complete.
- School attendance for each day is based on 3 factors- they must be engaging in one of these forms of Micro-School: (1) independent Seesaw assignments, (2) working on Google Meet with Ms. Willard or Ms. Dollyhite, or (3) attending a place- based lesson somewhere in the community with Ms. Willard and Ms. Dollyhite.
What If My Child Gets Logged Out of Seesaw on Their iPad??
Using the log-in with gmail access and use their student email. I will send these to you privately. There are two options for password for all student emails, if one does not work, then try the other one.
