CDS - First Program
The Weekly Word from CDS FP, Apr 13–Apr 17, 2020
Hello First Program Community,
Happy Birthday to Noah, Aiden, Jiwon, Tsnym, Gain, Siyeon, Jihun, Yeeun, Claire, Somi, Kyu-Bin, Junyu, Dalim, and Jenny! Last Friday, each classroom recognized students who had a birthday in March or April. Please see the photos of birthday-boys-and-girls, below!
We had an excellent turnout for the materials pick-up. Approximately 95% of our students had their things picked up by a parent—thank you for your support! We will continue this every two weeks. Our MAP results for grades K 1 2 3 4 will go out inside envelopes, in the students’ bags, next pick-up, April 29th. Please feel free to share any concerns or suggestions with regard to materials pick-ups.
On Monday, we will close the most recent Parent Survey that was shared. If you have not yet filled it out, please click on the link below. Your feedback of FP e-learning continues to be valuable in shaping how we meet students’ needs.
Battle of the Books takes place this week; please view below for details.
Inservice Day for CDS occurs on Friday, April 24th. FP teachers will be engaged in learning more about effective e-learning practices, assessment, and tech skills. On Friday, FP students will not receive synchronous (live) classes; however, they will have asynchronous lessons on Friday.
Please note that Parent Teacher Conferences for FP will take place on May 1. A separate announcement will go out with the links to sign up; this will be shared in the middle of this week. Parents will have approximately one week to reserve a time to meet (via Zoom) with their children’s teacher(s).
Please view pictures below of what e-learning has looked like around FP this past week. We look forward to seeing you digitally throughout the week!
Educationally Yours,
Mr. Hill
Director of First Program
