School Starts September 8th!
Thank you to everyone who attended Thursday evening's Virtual Open House! It was so great to see everyone and we are looking forward to seeing you all virtually as we kick off the 2020-2021 school year on Tuesday, September 8th.
We have rolled out the IPads for our 4k and Kindergarten students; we appreciated your continued patience as we sent extra callouts and emails throughout the week. We will continue to hand out IPads and supplies as we move into next week. Tuesday, we will be available for IPad pick-up from 7:30 am until 6:30 pm.
We continue to recognize that the start of this school year is presenting a unique set of challenges that we have never experienced before. The distance learning format this fall will be improved as we’ve had more time for planning and preparation.
Essential highlights for Distance Learning starting Tuesday, September 8th:
Seesaw- interactive learning platform and communication platform will be used by all elementary buildings
Daily Class Engagement-with work on social skills/social emotional learning and building community
Increased communication and interaction in a distance format with Converse staff
Both synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (recorded) lessons with classroom teachers and specialists
