Remote Learning Grading Update
As we settle into a 'routine' of sorts, we continue to be so thankful for the support of our families during this remote learning adventure. You guys are amazing and we love seeing and hearing about all of the awesome things going on at home!!!
Please keep an eye out this week for MISD communication regarding the grading policy during this time. As I shared last week, there is no expectation of a physical turn in for work, but rather communication, engagement and documentation of effort and work with your student's teacher! Please do not let this be a cause of stress. If your student is engaged in remote learning, participating in the activities and you are in communication with your student's teacher you are right on track!

News from Nurse Backhus
Hello Mustangs!
I hope everyone is staying safe and using the precautions the CDC has given. It’s so tempting to have a play date because our kiddos are so BORED and want to see their friends, but hold off and stay safe. Remember how quickly some viruses and bacteria (Flu and Strep for example) have run through the classrooms? Good handwashing and social distancing are some of the most important things you can do at this time to keep your family safe. As more research surfaces, it continues to be affirmed that to avoid touching one’s face, washing one’s hands effectively, and maintaining some distance from others are the best methods to avoid this virus.
I am including a website in this week’s notes that will give you some information on how long the Covid19 virus can live on different surfaces.
https://www.webmd.com/lung/how-long-covid-19-lives-on-surfaces?
A glimpse of what WebMD reports:
- Metal: 5 days (doorknobs, jewelry, silverware
- Wood: 4 days (furniture, decking)
- Plastics: 2-3 days (Packaging like milk containers and detergent bottles, car seats, backpacks, elevator buttons, store touch screens)
- Stainless steel 2-3 days (Refrigerators, pots and pans, some water bottles)
- Glass: Up to 5 days (drinking glasses, mirrors)
The good news is these are surfaces that can be wiped or sprayed with cleaners or washed with soap and water.
Please continue to follow the guidelines from the CDC. (https://www.cdc.gov)
With so many changes in all our lives, I can’t overemphasize the importance in establishing routines. Routines are important because they give children a sense of security and control over their environment. Some of the crucial skills children learn through routines include: self control, positive behavior and social skills.
Please know that I am available to you. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at stacey.backhus@misd.org.
