Elementary Distance Learning Update
5.25.20
We Are In The Final Stretch, Tigers!
Thank you all for your support during our distance learning journey. The continued partnership with our Medford Families has been incredible! This will be the last week that students will have distance learning activities assigned to them. Students will still have teacher created expectations on June 1st & 2nd, but no new learning will take place on these two days. Teachers and families will use these two days in various capacities, such as catching up on any missing assignments or holding student-teacher meetings/conferences. Attendance will still be taken on these two days. These days should also be used for students/families to organize their materials that they will need to bring back to school on June 3rd, 4th, or 5th.
When will our Device-Drop off/Student Item Exchange Take Place? (June 3rd, 4th, & 5th)
Staff have completed bagging and tagging belongings for students in an effort to be prepared for our Student Item Exchange on June 3rd, 4th, & 5th. Families will drive up to the Elementary Entrance (please enter using the east entrance of the parking lot) to drop off/collect your items. We ask that all parents, students, and visitors remain in their vehicle at all times. We will have volunteers coming to your car to help collect and deliver supplies. While we are so excited to see all of our Elementary Tigers, we won't be able to visit for long in order to make this process go smoothly as possible for everyone. If you have multiple children, you will be able to pick up all materials for each child on your given day. During these days, (see schedule below) families will bring your child's school-issued device (ipad or chromebook), charger, and any other school items to return, in exchange for any belongings they may have left in their desk or locker.
Teachers will be communicating with families to remind you what materials/items that will need to be returned.
