Message from the Principal
Dear Central Road Families,
I hope your child had a wonderful start to the school year! Our staff members have embraced their new platform for instruction and are very optimistic about this school year. We appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility while we navigate device and connectivity concerns. If your child’s device does not work or you are having trouble, please contact us. We are happy to provide you with a new Chromebook. If you are having connectivity issues, we can provide your family with a hot spot. Over the weekend, District 15 upgraded its bandwidth and we expect better connectivity with our platforms.
District 15 is providing families with support in navigating their devices. Tech tent are set up across the district. If you need help with logging in, using your hot spot or have questions about our platforms, please visit a tech tent. Additional information is attached to this email.
Teaching virtually is new to our profession. It is also very new to our students. Please review the use of the mute button with your child. It is important that the mute button is on while the teacher is speaking. This prevents background noise and interruptions to instruction. Teachers will share procedures for sharing verbally on Google Meets with their class. We appreciate your help!
If you receive an error message when trying to get into a Google Meeting, it is likely that the teacher has not started the meeting. This has happened a few times during our specials schedule. We are working on starting the meeting a minute before class begins so students can join when class starts. If you are unable to get into the meeting, please have your child try again after one minute.
Parent Orientation will be held on Wednesday, September 2nd for Central Road. All of the teachers with Central Road as their home school will host the event on that date. If your child is in a virtual classroom, and the teacher’s home school is not Central Road, the date may be different. Teachers will share their dates with you. I will share the break down of grade-level times next week.
Out of level math instruction will begin this week. Your child’s teacher will provide you with additional information.
Let's make it a great first full week of school!
Warmly,
Patti Van Winkle
