August 19, 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians:
The Wonderful Hazelwood Elementary Middle School (#210) is excited to welcome you to the 2020-2021 school year!!! We are very thrilled to begin another successful school year with our scholars starting off virtually. Our first day of online instruction will begin promptly on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.!!!
We are eager to listen to your scholars share stories about what they did this Summer with their families, catch up with returning families, and meet our newest Hazelwood Owls. Educating your scholars is a big job, and we need your help to do it well. Please ensure that your child logs onto his or her computer device daily and is prepared to engage in the virtual classroom. Attendance and arriving on time are also very important to students’ success– we do not want our students to miss any instructional time, so again, please make sure your child is on time every day, and
is ready to participate in his or her learning. All students will receive an overview of their teacher’s classroom expectations as well as the grading policy.
We know that you have been working hard at home to ensure that learning continues, despite the challenges you have faced while taking care of your families. We are so grateful for your efforts. We too have been working hard to prepare our new way of learning virtually for the safety of all, and we promise to provide the BEST EDUCATION for your child each day, so that he or she is well equipped to compete with the WORLD’S BEST.
Below, you will find information regarding student enrollment, contact information, and tips for helping your child to be successful with his or her virtual learning. Additionally, you will find your child’s classroom assignment for the 2020-2021 academic year.
