Return to Learn- Change Request
We know there are families that would like to change their child's current learning environment (Remote or In-Person). Please complete the survey below so we can begin planning for any changes that need to be made.
ONLY complete this survey IF you wish to have your child's environment CHANGED. Complete the survey for EACH child you have. Surveys are due by Friday, December 4th.
Please note change requests may involve the child moving/switching teachers.
Specials Office Hours
Starting with the 2nd trimester, Specials Office Hours are going to move to 1:00pm - 1:30pm. You can still find the links in SeeSaw and Schoology in your Specials classes. Please join us if you need help with your Specials lessons!
D.E.A.M November
October is almost over already! Please have students who have completed their October DEAM calendars take a picture of them and submit them. K-2 students should upload them to their PE SeeSaw Page and 3-5 students should email them to emichel@millburn24.net or ghoetzer@millburn24.net.
Please print or copy down your November DEAM Calendar (See Below). Remember, this is something that can be done IN ADDITION to the weekly PE Lessons.
Have fun and stay healthy!
