DISTANCE LEARNING PLANS Week of 5/4 (4 day week - no school on Wednesday 5/6/20)
Grade 1 Ms. Viccione plans 5/4 - 8
Grade 1 Ms. Caruso plans 5/4 - 8
What we are working on - updated 5/1/20
Here are some answers to questions that you may have:
1. Yearbooks - we are arranging plans with LifeTouch to get everyone a yearbook that ordered a copy. More to come. Yearbooks may be passed out when we send home the Trimester 3 report card. We will know more soon.
2. School-wide Read: Humphrey $ - Our Tiogue Reading Committee met last week and we decided to work on Humphrey when we return to school in the fall. For those of you that paid for a book, your child will get their copy when we return to school.
3. Unified T-Shirt Orders - same protocol as our Humphrey Book - we will continue this initiative when we return to school. Students will get their Tiogue Unified T-Shirts in the fall.
4. Materials left in desks at school - we are making plans as an Administrative Team along with our Facilities Director to create a plan to get all student materials and items back to them. More to come on this in the coming weeks.
5. Library Books, etc. - We are more than likely asking families to bring back books in the fall. IF something changes, we will let you know. We are formulating a plan to sanitize all books and/or materials returned to the school buildings.
First Responder Cards and Feinstein Window Signs - Excellent Work, Everyone! We are so proud of your work and creativity!
Incredible Student Work During Distance Learning!
We are blown away with the 100s of 'thank you' cards and signs that our students made this week! AMAZING WORK BOYS & GIRLS
