to chat about your learning model change questions!
7AM, 1PM & 7PM
Three Scoops!
SCOOP ONE
You should have received a detailed email on Friday about our learning model change. Any changes to your model selection are due this Tuesday afternoon. If you did not receive an email on Friday afternoon, please email anmcandrews@rochesterschools.org.
SCOOP TWO
Parents can access report cards & test scores using Skyward. Once logged in, find the tab on the left called "Report Cards & Portfolio." Once you select that tab, a menu of available reports appear in the panel on the right. You should see the Q1 & Q2 report cards there. If FastBridge is not loaded yet, check back in a few days! They are in the works!
SCOOP THREE
Students who are approved for free or reduced-price meals at any time in the current school year will receive P-EBT benefits retroactive to September 2020, as long as learning model requirements are met. Any families who might be eligible for free or reduced-price meals, but are not yet approved, should submit an Application for Educational Benefits as soon as possible. In addition, families should make sure their address information is current.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Mental Health Minute
Did you know that February is Heart Health Month!
Keeping our kids healthy can often be a challenge! Especially during this season when temperatures are below zero, fruits and vegetables aren’t in season and many activities have been cancelled. The American Heart Association has a few tips to get us through!
Eat Smart- Healthy eating starts with healthy food choices. You don’t need to be a chef to create nutritious, heart-healthy meals your family will love. Learn what to look for at the grocery store, restaurants, your workplace and any eating occasion.
Move More- A good starting goal is at least 150 minutes a week, but if you don’t want to sweat the numbers, just move more! Find forms of exercise you like and will stick with, and build more opportunities to be active into your routine.
Be Well- How do you want to live? Along with eating right and being active, real health includes getting enough sleep, practicing mindfulness, managing stress, keeping mind and body fit, connecting socially, and more.
Reach out to the Kellogg counselors and social workers for more ideas in these areas!
