Monday, September 21, 2020- Normal Virtual teaching day. There was a mistake in last week's Newsletter. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused you.
Grade 2 Families and Special Populations-Mr. Brissette will be hosting a live meet on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 5:00PM. This will be a time for families to check in about live in person school. It will also be a time for Mr. Brissette to go over some simple procedures about arrival, dismissal, etc. Please Join us here:
Forms To be Filled Out:
Parent Pick Up Form- Please fill out this form if you will be driving your child to and from school daily. We need this information for QR codes for each child. This already came out earlier but many people have not filled it out yet. Please contact us if you have any questions about daily Parent Pick Up.
Social Emotional Learning- Please fill out this form so we have a social emotional check in for your child.
School Year Expectations-This year will definitely be different as we move forward through these uncertain times. We will all get through this together with lots of understanding and cooperation. Things will definitely not be perfect and that is ok. Please remember that whether your child is learning from their home or here in school, the expectation is a full school day. If you are at home virtually your child is expected to be connected from 8:45-3:00. With that said, each teacher will have their own schedule with breaks built in and time for independent work. Please bear with us as we move through these first few weeks of school and please do not worry if you have issues connecting to your child’s teacher.
Few Dates to remember:
September 29, 2020- First Day In person school for grade 2 and Special Populations
October 12, 2020-Columbus Day No School
October 13, 2020- First Day In person school for grade 3, 4, & 5
