A Note from Mr. Morcone (Please note the links can be clicked on the electronic versions of this newsletter):
Hello Parents and Guardians:
We hope that you are staying warm as more cold weather will be heading in next week. If conditions are permissible, we will be going outside for recess. Please dress accordingly as our students love the backfield and courtyard.
Here are a few items to note:
-For safety reasons there will not be any Valentine's Day Card or gift exchanges. Teachers will have an activity, in some form, to honor this date.
-i-Ready computer-based assessments have started and will continue to be administered between January 18-February 12. https://www.curriculumassociates.com/products/i-ready/i-ready-assessment
-Information to come on our virtual PTO Science, Art and Technology Fair scheduled for Thursday, March 11.
Stay warm and enjoy the weekend!
Respectfully,
Paul

Important Topics:

Attendance Reminder:
- If your child is absent and they are able to log into the teacher's Google Classroom for the core subject areas, they are eligible to receive attendance credit for the day. Please make arrangements with the classroom homeroom teacher.
- If your child is in a situation where remote learning pertains to them, has internet capability, and is not logged onto the teacher's Google Classroom physically at their specified time(s)-they are marked absent.

General Announcements:
Emergency Activity Lessons/packet GRADES UPK-2: In the event of a brief (24-48 hour) closure, an emergency hard copy packet was sent home with your child at the start of the school year with an attached letter explaining this process. These activities arranged by grade level are now also posted on our MJT Webpage for easy access. You may have received updated materials from the classroom teacher. These activities are only for a 24-48 hour closure. After this duration, we will activate our Chromebook deployment and each child will receive their Closure Class Schedule from their teacher for full online/remote learning. Faculty and Staff will be checking in with you and your child during this time.
GRADE 3: In the event of a brief (24-48 hour) closure, grade 3 will use the full remote schedule that was sent to families by their respective teachers. This is due to students traveling with Chromebooks each day.
In some cases, the re-closure work below has been updated by your child's teacher and you have been notified.
