Rocket Reunion Material Pick Up
We will have a pick up event for these supplies on Monday, August 24th from 9-11 or Tuesday, August 25th from 3-5 PM. We ask that EVERY family come by school during one of the designated pick up events to collect the materials for your student. Please see the pick up times above.
Check out the picture below for a map of where to go when you arrive on campus for materials pick up. We will have a sweet treat for all of our ROCKETS!
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to abyars@wcpss.net .
Online Teaching and Learning
Online Learning and Teaching is going to be different this year than it was in Spring 2020. We will be providing instruction for new information and standards. This year, students will be engaged in a full day of learning. However, their day will be a combination of online and offline learning and practice and will look much like a regular school day. WCPSS has identified standards that were not taught during the Spring and has built the time and resources needed for us to teach the standards into the school year. Attendance will be taken and assignments will be graded. Please review the WCPSS Guidelines for Roles and Expectations for Students and Families in the Blended and Online Learning Environment.
Please initially help your child with logging in, and understanding the mute and video buttons. He or she may initially need your support with the Google Classroom, but the teacher will be working hard to help them learn to navigate it, as well. Here is a video that may provide additional support for you: How to Navigate the WCPSS Virtual Platforms and the link to WCPSS tech guide for families can be found here.
As we partner together to ensure the best learning experience for all students, we know there will be challenges to Blended and Online learning. We have tried to provide breaks within the day to allow for a mix of online instruction in the morning, followed by offline and/or independent practice in the afternoon. Teachers will work closely with families to provide support and understanding as we navigate the year. Please give your child and family time to adjust to this new process, and know we will make adjustments and build in appropriate supports if needed. Communication with your child’s teacher is key!

Updates to Food and Lunch Distribution
Plans for curbside service at strategic locations are being determined along with designated service times for food distribution for students engaged in remote learning and the VA. Please know, however, that after August 31, 2020, based on current federal regulations, the following items would apply to meals:
Students eligible for free and reduced-price meals will receive free meals. Remember that you have to apply each year for free or reduced-price meals. You can find the online application and more information here: https://www.wcpss.net/meals.
Students not eligible for free and reduced-price meals will have to pay.
Under current regulations, a student ID number will be required for meals as proof of enrollment and the adult must prove they are the parent/guardian if the student is not present.
