Missing Learning Materials!
Since many of our lessons are planned with these in mind, please help your child do a thorough search of their work area to locate the items that may be still hanging around! Thank you!
Here is what may still be at home:
It’s that time again! The First grade teachers will be holding another supply pick up to keep our students who are working at home fully equipped with the materials they need.
There are two dates scheduled this week for your supply pick up:
Thursday, September 17, 3:30 - 4:00 or Friday, September 18, 1:20 - 1:50
Please plan to drive through the bus loop during one of these scheduled times.
Similar to the last pick up, it’s helpful if you hold up in your car window a piece of paper with your child’s name. Teachers will place your child’s new learning supplies in the trunk of your car.
Please email us with any questions you may have.
Thank you for your continuing partnership with us!

Remote learners and any students who become remote learners:
Thank you so much for partnering with us as your child continues to learn at home.
Please remind your child of these important items to make our sessions go more smoothly:
- When we are in a session with our classmates, the iPad mic needs to stay muted so that everyone can hear the lesson or the student who has been called on. Household noises and family conversations do not mix with our lessons.
- For safety reasons, the camera must stay on unless unless we specifically ask for it to be turned off.
- This is not a time to lay down or play with supplies or toys. These won't help us be better listeners and learners, whether we are learning at home or in the school building.
We so appreciate you for monitoring your child's activities so that they can get the most from each session we have!
Thank you!
