The Last Days of the 2019-2020 School Year at Moose Pass School
There is a special 'Follow up on Plant Learning' Zoom meeting with Mr. Jason and Ms. Laura on Wednesday at 1PM in Ms. Barron's Zoom Room, and the regularly scheduled 2PM meeting is cancelled on that day.
Ms. Barron has been working with one of our great volunteers, Mr. Painter, on putting a schedule together for students to plant potatoes. Social Distancing is being taken into account in this planning. Ms. Barron will get more info to you on this soon. The tentative day for this is Friday, the 15th. There will be no materials pick up on Friday, but you may want to make plans to get your student to the school for potato planting.
Next week there is school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. These will be fun days, in the grand tradition of the last few days of the school year. This will culminate in a ZOOM Talent Show in Ms. Barron's Zoom room at 11AM on Wednesday. This will be one last chance for the students to "get together" and share before we wrap up this school year. We would love for parents to be there as well, so that students have an audience.
Last, but not least, materials return will be on Wednesday, May 20. Please plan to come to the school and return any materials that your student has borrowed from the school this quarter ie: art supplies, computers, LEGOs, books.
The staff at Moose Pass School would like to express our gratitude for all of the hard work that parents and students have done this quarter. We were all faced with a challenge like none we have had before, and it was such a joy to see how much can be done when we all work together as a school community. We hope that you all have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to meeting new challenges with you in the 2020-2021 school year.

A Note From Ms. Molly
Good morning, Hope families!
This will be the last "real" week of school. We will have a collection box outside the front doors starting Friday morning so you can drop any materials off that you have taken home. This might include text books, chapter books, electronics, or other items.
We want to congratulate everyone on their hard work this year, but especially since the end of March. It has been an unusual finish to the school year, to say the least, but we are so grateful to students, parents and everyone else who has helped support distance learning this year. YOU are rock stars!! A big cheer for Liam, who is graduating in just a week!!!
There will be some fun events for the last three days of school, including trash pick up, and "hang out" time. Stay tuned in your emails for more specific instructions from your teacher. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, and we hope you are staying healthy and getting lots of sunshine!
Be Well,
Ms. Molly
A NOTE FROM MS. DONNA
We are encouraging all students to make a strong finish and end this school year on a high note. It has been a strange year from start to finish. I know we would all welcome a "normal" year for 2020-2021. Summer is right around the corner and my wish is that we can all enjoy it to the fullest.
A couple of dates to be aware of:
May 14 - Written & Illustrated Zoom Presentation (Author's Tea), 10:00 AM
May 15 - Kindergarten Graduation & Awards, 10:00 AM & Laptop Retrieval
Stay Well!
