Family Newsletter- Week 5 Updates: September 28-October 2
Our Mission
Principal Message
We are well in the school year with students and staff getting the hang of virtual learning. By this time students should have assignments turned in and grades in the grade book. Please continue to monitor your child's academics in aspen and contact your scholars teachers with questions.
There are updates that need to be completed on your child's device only if they were given the device last school year. If you picked up a device in March please return it to Kelly Miller tomorrow from 12-6p and pick it back up on Sunday. We have a Sunday pick up date so that your scholar can have the device back in time to participate in class on Mondays.
Attendance matters, it is important that your scholar is attending live classes and logging into canvas everyday M-F so they are marked absent.
Educationally Yours,
