Lions Park Remote Learning Update
LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Lions Park Families,
As was planned, our students and their teachers have been engaging in fun and festive activities in addition to their learning activities. The teachers were creative in finding ways to infuse festive elements into their lessons. Some things classes did included holiday read alouds with their peers, card and gift making to spread holiday cheer and spirt days with themed outfits.
Our parent and teacher conferences have continued during this week. We are so thankful to our parents for making time to attend these conferences and asking good questions. We also appreciate the preparation our teachers do for these evenings.
We know this will be a very different winter break for our studetns and their families. Our school psychologist, Amy Peters, wrote a newsletter addressing this topic. Please take a few minutes to read Parenting in a Pandemic - Holiday Edition newsletter.
I am looking forward to this holiday, despite the fact that it will look very different than in past years. My daughters and I plan to continue to bundle up and head outside to view lights and socialize. We have also gotten creative with our virtual get-togethers. Last weekend our family and another family made pancakes together on Zoom. We also look forward to more movie nights. We have been watching many holiday movies, old and new.
However your family decides to spend the time, I wish you health, relaxation and joy. On behalf of the entire Lions Park staff, I wish you all a celebratory holiday season and a happy new year!
Warmly,
Katie Kelly

Technology Issues
Although technology can work well, there are times when it just does not work correctly. Teachers will not be available to respond to emails during instructional times. Instead, please submit a Remote Learning Technology Support form by clicking here. Once submitted, someone from our District Technology Team will contact you to provide assistance.
If you experience a technical issue, please follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Restart the Chromebook (make sure it turns all the way off before turning back on).
Quit any unused applications.
Sign out of an application if it's not working, and sign back in.
Move closer to your internet router if you are experiencing connectivity issues.
Turn off any accessibility features i.e., contrast mode, special cursor that may be set on the Chromebook. These can cause applications to run slow.
