Field Trip
As a reminder from the permission slip that everyone signed, adult chaperones are responsible for paying for their admission to the Discovery Center. As a result, you may want to get there a little early so that you can be paid and ready to go when we arrive. We will leave the Discovery Center around 11:30, return to Schofield, and eat lunch at school. If you are there with your student, you are allowed to check your student out for the day. Please see me so that I can mark it down and alert the office when we return. Thank you so much for all those willing to chaperone and make our trip possible.
Chromebooks
Each student has been assigned a district Chromebook to use both at school and at home, if needed. As we approach the winter weather season, starting Tuesday, November 1, elementary students will begin taking these devices to and from school each day in the case of inclement weather.
While our district will still plan to utilize “snow days” in the event of winter storms, there is a limit to how many we are allowed by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. In an effort to prevent our students and staff from having to make up missed days at the end of the school year, students taking devices home daily allows the district to be able to quickly implement an AMI Day (virtual learning), if needed. This will continue for elementary students through the month of March.
Elementary students should not have a need to utilize their school devices outside of school hours. Therefore, it's recommended they stay in backpacks at home when not needed for learning or when not charging. We ask that families send their students to school every day with their fully-charged Chromebook and charger.
If an AMI day needs to be implemented, directions from teachers will be shared with our families and students, which will ensure a smooth day of virtual learning.
