PANTHER PROWL
CIMARRON MIDDLE SCHOOL APRIL 2020
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL IS WEDNESDAY, MAY 13!
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Panther Families,
What unprecedented times we are living! I hope you and your young scholars are well and adjusting to this time of togetherness.
Distance Learning begins Monday, April 6 through the EPS Learning Dashboard. Teachers have created lessons based on the most important standards for the 4th quarter for every core subject area. The lessons are specifically designed for students to be able to learn independently. Your child's teachers will also be reaching out to your scholar to support their learning of this new material throughout the week. EPS will be adding lessons for electives soon!
Please remember no new grades will be given during the Distance Learning window from April 6 - May 13. Our young scholars are being contacted by teachers to complete or improve any work posted by March 13.. I know students' natural inclination may be to not complete the work provided through the Dashboard since it's not being graded. However, I encourage them to complete these assignments. This is the very best kind of learning - learning to gain new knowledge and skills! We do not want ANY student to fall behind during this time.
If we can be of any help to you, for any reason, please do not hesitate to reach out through email or phone. We miss your students more than we can express!
Stay healthy!
Gabe Schmidt
Principal

IS YOUR STUDENTS CHROMEBOOK OR CHARGER DAMAGED?
Parent Technology Help Desk
Beginning April 6, the district will be providing technical phone support to parents Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The phone number to call is (405)726-3333. We can help with student passwords, general use information for EPS iPads and EPS Chromebooks, Canvas, Infinite Campus, Zoom (elementary), Google Hangouts (Secondary), and related issues. For questions pertaining to specific content delivery through SeeSaw, Capit, Prodigy, Epic, IXL, etc, parents should email their child’s teacher directly.
Chromebook and iPad Repair
Beginning April 7, technology staff will be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday to replace Chromebooks, iPads, or chargers as needed. The location is 1216 S. Rankin, between Central Middle School and the YMCA. We will provide parking lot service. Just pull in and we will come to your car and exchange your lost or broken component with a new one. Students/parents will keep the loaner device until the end of the school year.
We hope these services will allow you to focus on facilitating learning and not on troubleshooting technology problems.
