Virtual Learning Day Materials
Families,
- A two-sided sheet is being sent home with your student on Monday, January 23rd. These activities are to be completed in the event of virtual learning days. During the winter, inclement weather may occur at any time, which may cause a need for a virtual learning day. Should a virtual day be announced, please assist your child and complete the first day's activities for the first virtual day out of school. Should another day be missed for virtual learning, proceed to day 2, etc. You should post a picture of completed work to SeeSaw or return work to school in your child's backpack/folder so that your child may be counted in attendance for the virtual learning day. You may communicate with your child's teacher via SeeSaw or email during school hours- from 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. should you have any questions. Keep the virtual learning materials safe so that you have them readily available. A digital copy is also available below for your convenience. PLEASE NOTE- A "SNOW DAY" DOES NOT REQUIRE YOUR CHILD TO COMPLETE VIRTUAL LEARNING MATERIALS. When school is canceled, you should receive a notification and be told if it is a virtual or snow day. Thank you!
