Virtual Academy Materials Pick Up - Grades 1 - 6
Save The Date: Virtual Academy Pick Up 10/14
Our virtual teachers will need to distribute materials on an ongoing basis to support instruction. To simplify the process, and to accommodate families with children in multiple grade-levels, we have developed a schedule that will allow materials to be picked up for all grade-levels on specified dates. Mrs. Carp’s Kindergarten will continue with their same procedures.Our first pick up will be on Wednesday, October 14th. You may pick up materials between 12pm and 2pm or between 3pm and 5pm. Please avoid arriving during dismissal, 2:00-3:00. Weather permitting, we will have tables set up outside along the path to the main entrance. You will see boxes/crates with each teachers’ name. If we have bad weather the tables will be inside the vestibule. If you cannot pick up during this pick-up event, please call the office and schedule a pickup time.
Looking ahead, our second pick up will be November 4th.
Tech Tip
For students in grades 3-6, it is a great idea to “sync” your OneDrive to your actual computer. This allows you to access your entire cloud storage without logging on to Office 365 every time. Here are the directions:
First, access Office 365 by using ClassLink on Microsoft Edge.
Second, open OneDrive. The icon is a cloud.
Third, at the top of your page, click the button that says “sync.”
Follow the prompts to sync OneDrive to your computer.
Now every file can be found in your File Explorer icon .
This will make saving, accessing files, and uploading to Canvas or Teams so much easier this year.
Good luck!
