Mylan Park Elementary Newsletter
January 2023
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy New Year! I would like to extend well wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.
January is a month of reflections and new beginnings. Celebrate learning, reflect on the growth and begin to imagine how far we can go when we set our expectations high and plan a path to reach them. The Mylan Park community would like to wish everyone good health and happiness in the New Year.
✏️Teachers and students will be taking time to perform mid-year assessments. These assessments guide us in making instructional decisions to best meet the needs of our students academically. You can continue to support your child by reviewing completed work, encouraging reading, and having ongoing conversations with your child about what they are learning at school.
❄️Just a reminder that as the snow starts to fly in Morgantown, children need to be dressed appropriately to come to school. Coats, hats, mittens/gloves and boots are a must, especially on those cold and blustery days. Remember to tune into your local television and radio stations, the Monongalia County website and social media channels for up-to-the minute school closings, delays or Arctic Academy days.
⏰When school is delayed, parents should not drop their children off prior to the delayed time for arrival which is 10:30 A.M. Remember, there is no breakfast served on a delay day. If school is cancelled and an Arctic Academy Day is called, students will need to complete the Arctic Academy assignments. (see below for info)
💻On an Arctic Academy Day, students Kindergarten-5th Grade will have a Choice Board of activities to complete for the day on their Chromebook as well as a class meeting to attend via Google Meet. For more information about what to do on an Arctic Academy Day, including a walk through video, please visit this site to get prepped and ready in advance of an AA day to avoid any technical difficulties on the day.
📱Please be certain that the office has your most current contact information on file and that you are receiving School Messenger phone calls, texts or emails. Not receiving calls? Click here for more info.
🌡️Is your student too sick to come to school? Skip the phone call and send us an online excuse for the day using our online note system. (You can always find the link to the form under "Parents" on our website.)
