Week of September 28-October 2
Our New School Year Has Launched!
We look forward to welcoming our in person learners in grades 1-4 beginning on Monday, September 27th!
For those families helping your children with remote learning, THANK YOU for all you are doing! We know how challenging this is and we are here to support you. Here are some things to keep in mind while supporting your children during at home learning:
- Please make sure an adult checks in with your child to ensure he or she is engaged in the learning and focused on his or her schoolwork.
- Please understand that our teachers and faculty are also learning the technology platforms as they teach your children. This is new for all of us and they appreciate your support and your respect as they try new things. All teachers wish we could be teaching all of your children in person as they have always done.
- We are all experiencing internet issues at home. This is for different reasons: internet outages, the need for improved connectivity in homes, and many devices on the same wifi connection. Please just do the best you can. We will be understanding of your challenges and hope that you will be understanding when our teachers encounter the same challenges.
- As soon as the children learn the routines and learn how to use the technology well, we will be able to shift to remote learning models that won't require video conferencing all day. This will help reduce screen time for your child, allow for independent work, and reduce the demands on the internet.
- Please encourage your child to try things independently before having adult assistance. It is very important for our young children to work to solve problems independently. It helps them to build confidence and independence. This is difficult for us as adults to allow children to do it for themselves, but the best way for children to learn and to become independent thinkers.
At the beginning of the school year, please know that all educators are focusing on building relationships and getting to know your children as people and as learners. They are simultaneously building structures and routines and essentially working on teaching children how to learn. Our academic content will increase over time.
An Important Message to All Families of In-Person Students
We can't wait to welcome In- Person Students in Grades 1-4 on Monday at 7:30!!!
- All students walking to school with their families will enter through the front door.
- All students being dropped off by car, will come in through the Wilder Street door. Our kindergarten students have done an excellent job with this and are great models!
Families, please remember to only drop students off on the right side of the road. It might mean you need to be patient as the line of cars will take a longer time this year. All students will need to open their car doors and come through the door to walk to their classrooms. Mrs. Woodlock and Mrs. Casey will be outside and will have hand sanitizer for students as they walk into the building. The Wilder street door will be open until 7:45. If you arrive later than that, your child will come in through the front entrance.
Items In Person Students in grades 1-4 need to bring with them on Monday morning:
- Wearing a clean mask (and a second clean mask in their backpack)
- School computer and headphones and charger
- School supplies that were given to them
- Completed Emergency Form
