River Mill Elementary Weekly Newsletter- Oct. 1st
Dear River Mill Families,
We have completed 2 weeks of comprehensive Distance Learning. Thank you so much for working through technical issues, and teaching/partnering with us to educate your student. Our staff has been working really hard and they are amazing at keeping students first, every day. Please be patient as they work through technical issues, and assume the best of intentions. If you get a chance please tell your student's teacher how much we all appreciate them and their hard work.
Just as a reminder as we are getting into a routine, the Oregon Department of Education has set up our attendance requirements. There are two things you have to do every day to be marked present for that day. You have 24 hours to complete them, 7:00 am-7:00 am.
- Participation- This means you have to join zoom meetings, and if you can't join you connect with the teacher either through email, a phone call, or any other type of communication to let them know your school plan for the day.
- Completion of work- You have to complete the work that was assigned for that day in the 24 hour period.
In order to be marked present, you have to do BOTH of these each day.
We are going to begin to bring in students next week- this is in a very limited capacity. We will be calling this week and next week if we need your student to come in, letting you know the times and days. Thank you for your patience as we start a little at a time to ensure the safety and health of our students and staff.
In this newsletter is information from the city of Estacada to support those who need support from the fire. Please take advantage of these opportunities if you need help.
Thank you to those that attended our virtual PTO meeting last night. We are looking for some board positions in our PTO if you are interested please email me. Since we could not do a lot of our normal fundraisers like the Fall Festival this year, please see below for ways to support our school through Amazon and Fred Meyer.
Please enjoy our Thursday Morning Meeting Videos below. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
