Letter from the Principal
Steggie Families:
Hello steggie families, we hope you had a fantastic week off! We know that this year looks different, however hopefully you were able to connect with your loved ones in some way. My family and I did many Facetime calls with grandparents. It was not exactly the same as being in person, but it was still nice to connect. We have a few important weeks before our next big break. These weeks are critical because semester one grades are due. Please encourage your child to give it their all these next few weeks. We will be in the office the next two weeks on Mondays and Fridays. Please let us know if you need assistance in any way and we will be there to help! Additionally, this newsletter edition includes some tips on how to do your best while in virtual learning. Ms. Tolmachoff and I also created a video with our own children to show what they are doing to be successful. We hope you enjoy our video!
Have a fantastic weekend and we will see you soon!
Sara Olson
IMPORTANT REMOTE LEARNING REMINDERS
- Please provide your child with a quiet space. Our teachers have noticed a lot of noise and commotion during learning. Some spaces are small, but please do your best to support your student's focus and learning by being as quiet as possible.
- Also, please ensure your child has a private space without other family members walking through during class time. This will help everyone focus!
- If you need help with your computer, please call Adams 12 Family Tech Support at (720) 972-4120.
- Ensure that your child has breakfast and lunch. Make sure they take screen and movement breaks as well.
- Please ensure your children are caring for their Chromebooks. Watch the video below for expectations.
