Dear Mustang Families ~
10.2.2020
Dear McBride Families:
Hope this finds you well! What a great week for sunshine! I continue to be impressed with how your children are doing. I just love popping "into classrooms" to see what is happening. Our teachers and staff are doing an amazing job transferring all of what they knew how to do in-person and doing what they can to redirect it so its appropriate for Comprehensive Distance Learning.
Keep up the partnership with us!.
I appreciate all of you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Attendance & Grades
- Interaction can be evidenced by any of the following or reasonable equivalents: o Participating in a video class; o Communication from the student to the teacher via chat, text message, communication app or email; o A phone call between the teacher or educational assistants/paraprofessionals and the student, or, for younger students, with the parent or guardian of the student; o Posting completed coursework to a learning management system or web-based platform or via email; or o Turning in completed coursework on a given day.
- When there is no evidence of student interaction during a 24-hour period surrounding a scheduled school day as described, students are reported as absent for the day (grades K-5/ selfcontained) or class (grades 6-12/ individual subject).
Teachers take attendance after a 24 hour period to give time to see if students log on in the evenings to complete work. (example: attendance by 9:30 on Tuesday morning for Monday)
Grading/Report Cards
The state has broad guidelines when it comes to attendance however grading for Core subjects will continue to be based off of your child's work and assessments taken. Your child's report card will reflect progress in core subjects. PE/Music grades will be based on attendance. Your child has two PE and two Music lessons a week to attend.
Picture Re-takes
This event is going to be at Lewis & Clark Elementary on October 28th from 2p-4p.
Whiteboards & Timers for Students
Drive-Thru Pickup
October 15 - 6p-7p
October 16 - 12p-1p
Families will drive thru to the front of the school. We'll hand you a whiteboard and a timer and mark your student off that they received it. When we come back to in-person instruction, we will want these items to come back to school with your child.
McBride Library
We will learn how to check out books online, learn fun skills to help us in life (and class too), and enjoy a wide variety of literature. All of our links and resources will be available through our library classes in Canvas. Join us each week for fun library experiences and of course great stories!
Lunch Program
There is an extra check box on the form now so you can sign up one time and receive meals every week. Check it out!
