Full-Day Kindergarten in Full-Year Distance Learning Starts October 12th!
On October 12th, Kinders will begin a full-day schedule. The Kinder Schedule will include one more instructional content block and student independent work time.
Please reach out to your child's kindergarten teacher if you have additional questions.
(See Full-Day Schedule Below)
Current K-5 FDL Schedule
Below is a sample of the current FDL weekly schedule for students in grades 1-5. When the elementary schools go hybrid on October 12th, the FDL content blocks will shift a little bit to accommodate a few changes. The start and end times will not change.
In the next newsletter, I will share the adjusted FDL schedule.
Parent Virtual Coffee News
During last week's Parent Virtual Coffee, we had a lovely time learning about all of the opportunities students have to access to PAUSD's library resources. PAUSD Teacher Librarians Rusty Tooley and Michelle Brown, presented how to check-out books from the home-elementary site "Opals" link. Michelle also explained
the additional resources available for students to access to check out ebooks.
Attached below is a graphic of all PAUSD Teacher Librarians and their contact information. Please only use this as a resource to contact your home elementary site librarian for questions you may have regarding the library system.
In case you were unable to join us on Thursday, the slides used in Thursday's presentation are attached below.
