A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
We are excited about the start of the 20/21 school year. Our teachers are here and are working diligently to have everything prepared for our students’ arrival in person and virtually on Thursday, August 20th, 2020. We are blessed to have such beautiful facilities for our students to learn in, but it has been empty far too long. When students are in the building, Spain Park becomes a school.
I know you have many questions about how we will accomplish the staggered schedule and the remote learning at the same time. This newsletter will focus solely on what you and your student should know to begin the school year. We have put together the following information to guide you through the first four weeks of school. Here is a concise timeline that will be helpful to you:
Monday, August 17th @ 8 am - Log in to INOW to view your schedule.
If you cannot view your schedule, email Mrs. Renee Hohler at ehohler@hoover.k12.al.us.
Wednesday, August 19th @ 8 am - Google Classrooms open.
Using their school login information, all students should log in to Google Classroom by going HERE. Students should use their schedule in INOW to identify which Google Classrooms in which they are enrolled.
In-person students will automatically be enrolled in a Google Classroom for each class.
Full-time virtual students will receive an email invitation by Tuesday, August 18th @ 4 pm. Full-Time Virtual Students must accept the invitation to be enrolled in the Google Classroom for each specific class.
For example, if you have 7 classes, you must be enrolled in 7 Google Classrooms.
If you have any trouble logging in to any Google Classroom, email your teacher immediately.
Thursday, August 20th @ 8:15 am - school starts for all students, virtual and in-person.
All students (in-person and virtual) will follow THIS schedule.
In-person students with last names starting with A-K will report to SPHS.
In-person students with last names starting with L-Z will work remotely from home.
Full-time virtual students will work remotely from home.
Friday, August 21st @ 8:15 am - school continues for all students, virtual and in-person.
All students (in-person and virtual) will follow THIS schedule.
In-person students with last names starting with A-K will work remotely from home.
In-person students with last names starting with L-Z will report to SPHS.
Full-time virtual students will work remotely from home.
This same pattern will repeat for the first four weeks of school, with Wednesday being a day where all students will work remotely from home using THIS schedule.
All students, full-time virtual and in-person, are required to begin school at 8:15 am each day, following THIS schedule. This day will be crucial for teacher/student communication, instruction, and daily lessons.
It is our hope that you remain safe and healthy and you are looking forward to the start of the school year, as much as we are. As always, I am available to hear your feedback on how we can make SPHS a great place to be.
Sincerely,
Peter L. Giangrosso
