Weekly SPED News
Ms. Kelton and Mr. Lancaster
Welcome Back!!
Hello beautiful, handsome and wonderful students of ours and parents! First of all, we want each and every one of you to know that we have missed you all dearly but hope you have enjoyed the extended Spring Break. Because of the Coronavirus we're having to do at home learning. While we would all much rather be in a wonderful classroom with all your smiling faces, this will be the new normal for the next couple of weeks and maybe the foreseeable future. You all have come so far this school year and the journey isn't over yet. This newsletter will serve to share what our weekly educational goals are and as well as important information from the district. #WarriorsAtHomeLearning
For All Students
We encourage you all to continue reading, reading, and reading some more! You will have access to Renaissance Learning or AR testing as it is more commonly known with our students. We believe in reading so much... that we will link weekly readings for our students on here of our paraprofessionals will read some of their favorite books (children and chapter), so that you the parent will have one less stress to worry about during this time. Please note that all students may not have an AR account, but it isn't a requirement to test either. You can use EPIC in order to access some great books. The creators of EPiC will allow remote access for free to all students who are on a verified Teacher’s account. We have already sent an email to all the student’s parents for which we have a parent email address. All these programs have been linked below for your convenience.
Paper Packet Students
If you don't have access to the internet or a tablet, laptop, or computer we will have paper packets you can pick up at the Bonham Administration building at 1005 Chestnut in Bonham Tx. from 5pm - 7pm on Mondays unless other arrangements have been made. The packets will be similar to the work students are expected to complete online. You will keep the packets until we return to school, but please complete the work as required so that your child will not be behind whenever we return back to school. We will only assign work once a week so you will have 7 days to complete the assignments.
Online Students
Our campus and classes will utilize Moby Max for our online learning. You will be assigned assignments to be completed each week as well. We will pass along your student info in order to access any online programs we are using.
