Dear Prisk Family,
On behalf of the Prisk staff, I just wanted to take this moment to remind you all that despite the physical distance between us at this time, you are on our minds and close to our hearts.
On April 20th, we will resume our use of online platforms to provide Home Learning Opportunities as we did prior to Spring Break. Beginning Thursday, April 23, our school district’s Home Learning Opportunities will continue with modifications.
Until now, lessons have been ungraded. As of April 23, students will be responsible for assignments and participation. We know, however, that students are not simply “learning at home.” They are learning at home during difficult circumstances for themselves and their families. With the pandemic crisis in mind, we have adjusted our student grading measures accordingly.
Grading embraces a “do no harm” philosophy
Elementary students will not receive Achievement Reports (Report Cards) for the second semester
Guidelines for the amount of daily learning vary by grade span
Transitional kindergarten (TK) through kindergarten; one to 1.5 hours
Grades 1 to 5; three hours
Teachers will provide remote learning by “synchronous” (students working or learning simultaneously) and/or “asynchronous” methods (students working or learning at different times, or at their own pace).
If you have questions, please contact us at (562) 317-4804. Teresa, Michelle, Mrs. Martin, or I are available by phone Monday-Friday from 8:00 - 4:00.
Best,
Principal Cohen

Construction/HVAC Update
The district and the construction teams are getting a jump on some of the work outside of the buildings and in the auditorium/cafeteria building. Since there are no students on campus, it's a safe time to do this work AND it will better our chances of having the cafeteria and auditorium completed before the 20-21 school year begins!
Meanwhile, there are a lot of folks at the district level working on a district-wide strategy for families to safely retrieve their materials and belongings in addition to families returning materials which belong to the school.
Stay tuned for more details....
