Sunset Lake SMORE
March 20, 20 Special Edition for Home Learning
Sunset Lake Begins with the End in Mind
Here we are after our first week of a very different time in our world.
Our Sunset Lake teachers have been hard at work trying to help their students with this new platform of learning.
We THANK YOU for all of the time and efforts you are putting into your child's education on top of all the other pressures you have in your life right now. We appreciate YOU!
We want to make sure we stress the message that we do NOT have requirements for your child's school lessons or time spent on the provided activities. The teaching staff is providing resources and activities that review and/or practice lessons that our students already experienced in school prior to Monday, March 16th. Our goal is to avoid any "slide" in your child's knowledge and skills, but we are not expecting students to learn new things.
We may be sharing new resources or different sites your child has not experienced before but the purpose is to try and give our families enough options to choose from that will work best for them. Our teachers are outstanding professionals that are working to make sure what they share best matches their students through their formats of Google Classroom, Dojo, Remind or maybe SeeSaw.
This document, weekly Sunset Lake SMORE,-- is more of an overall share out of information and resources that we feel may help you during the state school break from March 16th-April 5th.
Please note that our district's spring break is still scheduled for April 2nd -10th.
Please stay tuned for updates through our Sunset Lake PTSO Fb, weekly Sunset SMORE updates and through our district's Skylert communication system.
We thank you for the GRACE, you have granted us and for your continued support.
Please do not hesitate to email me at amccaw@vicksburgschools.org if you have any concerns or questions!
Thank you,

The great news is that we are working to get Lexia for ALL Sunset Lake students. Your child's teacher will be sharing out the information on how to create an account and get your child on Lexia NEXT week. Thank you for your patience!!
