A Note from Mr. Morcone (Please note the links can be clicked on the electronic versions of this newsletter):
Hello Parents and Guardians:
Thank you for your continued support regarding our remote learning day. We will be back in school this Monday. Please have all students return their Chromebooks and technology materials to the school. ALL individuals involved regarding a possible exposure have been contacted.
Here are a few items (some repeated) to note:
-For safety reasons there will not be any Valentine's Day Card or gift exchanges. Teachers will have an activity, in some form, to honor this date.
-i-Ready computer-based assessments have started and will continue to be administered between January 18-February 12. https://www.curriculumassociates.com/products/i-ready/i-ready-assessment
As always, my door is always open. For the latest, join us on Twitter @MorconeMJT
Stay warm!
Respectfully,
Paul

Important Topics:
Safety:
- We received an outstanding review of our lockdown procedure from our Risk Management Group this past week.
Attendance Reminder:
- If your child is absent and they are able to log into the teacher's Google Classroom for the core subject areas, they are eligible to receive attendance credit for the day. Please make arrangements with the classroom homeroom teacher.
- Given the timing of the absent notification (i.e. child is sick that particular day), the teacher may or may not be able to send you the paper activities that support the lessons until a later time as they will be in the middle of instruction.
- If your child is in a situation where remote learning pertains to them, has internet capability, and is not logged onto the teacher's Google Classroom physically at their specified time(s)-they are marked absent.
Remote Learners:
Keep up the great work of logging in on time and completing assignments!

General Announcements:
Emergency Activity Lessons/packet GRADES UPK-2: In the event of a brief (24-48 hour) closure, an emergency hard copy packet was sent home with your child at the start of the school year with an attached letter explaining this process. These activities arranged by grade level are now also posted on our MJT Webpage for easy access. You may have received updated materials from the classroom teacher. These activities are only for a 24-48 hour closure. After this duration, we will activate our Chromebook deployment and each child will receive their Closure Class Schedule from their teacher for full online/remote learning. Faculty and Staff will be checking in with you and your child during this time.
GRADE 3: In the event of a brief (24-48 hour) closure, grade 3 will use the full remote schedule that was sent to families by their respective teachers. This is due to students traveling with Chromebooks each day.
In some cases, the re-closure work below has been updated by your child's teacher and you have been notified. Please check the Website.
