The Riverwalk Roar

Note from Dr. Compton
Pride,
I wanted to send a brief update after our first official day of distance learning. Based on the feedback from our teachers, and from those of you who we chatted with today, I'd say today was a success. Our teachers did a great job of being prepared to virtually "greet everyone" and our admin team was busy this morning keeping our class packets fully stocked.
Also, it was great seeing so many of you participating in our Tuesday Facebook challenge by posting pictures of all of our "distance learners" wearing their green. We are posting a nightly video with a new challenge for the next day. Be sure to check them out so we can all stay connected while we're apart. Thank you all for making the best of this situation.
Now that we have made it through our first day, we have learned a few things that I wanted to share with everyone.
- Our teachers have dedicated office hours and links to their Google Hangouts (where your child can receive live support). You can view this document by visiting our Distance Learning Google Drive, by visiting our website, or by clicking here.
- We realize that Google Hangouts is new to some of you. Therefore, we created a "how to" video that shows you how to contact your teacher during their office hours, without having to create a Google account. This video is posted in our Distance Learning Google Drive, and by clicking here.
Even if you do not have any questions tomorrow, try to visit your teacher's "Hangout" during their office hours so you stop in to say "Hi." They miss you all already and they'd love to see you.
Pride, we're going to take this slow and steady, and focus on one day at a time. By doing so, we'll be able to make the best of a tough situation.
If you have any questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to let any of us know.
Stay safe and be brave!
