Jack London Community Letter
Letter to help keep our families informed • April 3rd, 2020
Dear Jack London Families,
I hope that this letter finds you and your loved ones well.
As you know, our school has been canceled for the remainder of this school year to flatten the curve. Governor Newsomans State Superintendent Tony Thurmond announced that classes would be canceled for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year. Moving forward we will be utilizing a Distance Learning model till the end of the school year. Here is the link to the SCOE announcement with the latest updates: COVID-19 School Closure Announcement.
I wanted you to know that the POUSD Instructional Resources Website is evolving. We are striving to provide you with great resources that are easy to use, parent-friendly, and well-organized rather than overwhelm you with support. Here is a summary of the new things added this week (please note: we are not taking down old resources, just dating them for the weeks used and adding our new ones too):
- Scholastic at Home Lessons for TK-8th grade on the correct grade level span buttons (daily lessons that are easy to follow for the next three weeks)
- Bridges: Math at Home Lessons (daily math lessons that match our current math curriculum)
- More resources to art and music button
- More resources to PE/movement button (Pinelli has new videos too!)
- Science and Social Studies resources button
- More teachers are adding their own Teacher's Classroom Pages (*Please note if your child's teacher has a classroom page, you can click on their teacher's name on the correct grade level span button to access their learning platform: SeeSaw or GoogleClassroom). On the learning platform, several teachers have been adding their weekly assignments, videos, morning messages, and more!
Remember to please continue to refer to the POUSD Instructional Resource Website throughout this school closure time. We are doing our very best to keep it updated and always relevant.
Thank you!
