A Message From the Principal
Dear Kutz Families,
The news that all Pennsylvania schools will be closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 year has brought many emotions for our staff and families. Please know that the Kutz staff is here for you. We are grateful everyday that we work at Kutz Elementary School. Even though we cannot be together physically in our school building, we will continue to show our Kutz Cougar pride in everything that we do.
As a district we are talking about ways to honor our 6th graders and other typical "end of year" activities our students participate in. When I know more, I will certainly share that information with you.
As always, thank you for your continued support and kindness.
Stay healthy and safe,
Christina Adelberger
ALL CENTRAL BUCKS PROPERTIES ARE CLOSED
Please be reminded, that as we continue to practice strict social distancing, ALL district buildings, athletic fields, stadiums, playgrounds and properties are closed during this time.
Distance Learning- Phase 2- Week 3
Hi Kutz Families,
I hope you are well. This will be our first full week with distance learning phase 2!
Please remember to have your child complete assignments for their specials, too! Your child will do their special on their usual day, as if they were in school. Work for special classes is mandatory, too. You can look at the special teacher's website for direction and then share the work on See Saw. Please reach out to your child's special teacher(s) with any questions.
I encourage your children to participate in the school's daily flip grids. This is the link for the week, but you will have to find the correct topic for each day- https://flipgrid.com/adelberger7867. The topics are also linked directly below. The password was sent via email. To access Flip Grid, your child can either use the links above or below or login through My Apps and/or Clever. If they are accessing it through Clever or Mp Apps, they can just type the flip grid code of “adelberger7867”. The code is always what comes after the backslash. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have fun!
- Mindful Monday- Do something to get your mind and body calm and ready to learn. (https://flipgrid.com/28437809)
- Technology Tuesday- Tell us your favorite website or app. (https://flipgrid.com/72518021)
- Workout Wednesday- Do a workout. Check out Mr. Rodger's or Mr. Durie's websites or see saw for ideas. (https://flipgrid.com/31365aa7)
- Think About it Thursday- Share a riddle or brain teaser. (https://flipgrid.com/853132ec)
- Friendly Friday- Give a shout out to a friend you miss. (https://flipgrid.com/a7f6a742)
Remember, lunches for families in need will be served two days this week from the Kutz parking lot. They will be served Monday and Thursday from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Continue to send pictures to me at cadelberger@cbsd.org.
Also, for anyone that ordered a tree for Earth Day, we unfortunately had to cancel those orders. We hope we can do it next year.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Christina Adelberger
