Happy New Year--and aren't we all so glad to say goodbye to 2020!

Even though the year has presented immense challenges, I'm sure we all have some highlights and great learning that came from the hardships. We are all hopeful for a great new year!

We are excited to welcome our students back to in-person learning on January 11th. Semester two officially begins REMOTELY on Thursday, January 7th. Students should check their email and Google Classrooms for ZOOM LINKS.

Classes begin at 8:30 am and attendance is mandatory in all Zoom classes at this time. Please see the schedules below for additional information about remote learning for January 7th and 8th.

If at any time you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Please keep in mind that attendance in daily Zoom meetings is essential and required.

If your student or household is dealing with Covid, please leave a message on our attendance line so we can continue to track Covid in our community.

• Students who do not login will be counted absent.
• Students need to be on time to their zoom call. Missing too much of the Zoom call will result in an absence.
• If your child will not be present in remote learning, please call the attendance line to excuse their absence (within 24 hours of the absence).
• One point of confusion for students has been which day and which zoom. We are on a rotation schedule just like we were while in-person. If students struggle with getting on Zoom, they should email their teachers immediately so teachers can help problem-solve.

"During this time of remote learning our virtual library is more important than ever. EMS and ELA students can access free eBooks and eAudio books anytime on our library webpage or by using this link. Students will use the first half of their school email address (without "@engschools.net") as their username and their school Chromebook password to log-in. Any questions please contact brendan_hackett@engschools.net."
