FIRST THOUGHTS
This year we anticipated an increase in student absences. That is proving to be the case. Parents are doing an excellent job with following guidelines established by the morning health screener, and in other cases parents are simply displaying an appropriate sense of caution when it comes to health matters. Thank you! We would have expected nothing less.
When your child is going to miss school, please continue to call the sick line and leave us a message. If you want to do so (depending on the child's age, how long they are going to be out, how sick they are, etc.) you can also contact school (email the office or email the teacher) to request assignments, homework, etc. Please know that while our teachers are teaching they often don't have time to check their email and/or pull work together on short notice, so it may take some time to have this all happen.
If a child is out of school for an extended period of time, for example, for a 14 day quarantine, it may be beneficial to make arrangements with their teacher to have them "attend" class via google meet for at least a portion of the day. We have the ability to do this. This is not a beneficial option to pursue if the child is sick or is only going to be out of school for a brief period of time. However, if they are healthy but restricted to home due to Covid - 19 protocols, this may be a great way to have them remain connected to their classmates and to the educational process.
