Happy Memorial Day!
Hello Raider Nation,
Happy Memorial Day! On this Memorial Day, thank you for taking a moment to honor and remember our servicemen and servicewomen who answered America's call to service and paid the ultimate price.
Remember that we are on a modified schedule this week due to Memorial Day. The following adjustments have been made to the distance learning schedules to accommodate this school closure:
The Period 4A Google Meet class check-in that is regularly scheduled for Monday afternoons will move to Friday May 29, 2020 from 8:00-8:45 or 9:00-9:45 a.m.
All class assignments will be posted by 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26, 2020.
Assignments normally due on Friday (May 29) will not be due until Monday, June 1, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.
The regular distance learning weekly schedule will resume June 1, 2020.
What an exciting week this past week. Seniors completed their last day of high school (congratulations!) and caps and gowns were distributed. It was so nice watching our seniors arrive at our collection and distribution event to drop off their textbooks and collect their caps and gowns.
A warm felt THANK YOU to all of the staff volunteers -- over 70 that came out in the rain to help. I am so fortunate to be a part of this Atholton family and it is during times like this that I am reminded how lucky I am! Our staff REALLY got into the celebration (especially station 4 where you dropped off your textbooks, LOL!). I believe this was Carolyn Pilcher and Natalie Kelly leading the cheering -- THANK YOU to EVERYONE for being there for our seniors and cheering them on!
Having said that -- are you ready to do it again?? We are planning to distribute diplomas on Monday, June 1. It should be a lot easier as we will not be collecting SO many items. Please email Adrienne (our organizer) if you would like to help next Monday. We won’t quite need as many volunteers for this distribution. Thank you in advance.
As I mentioned last week during our virtual staff meeting, we will begin allowing staggered access to the building using STRICT protocols next week. I will be sending out the expectations from the county and the plan of how we will roll out this access. As we develop this plan, please let Sam know if there are any special circumstances that need to be considered surrounding your re-entry to the building. We will be unveiling the plan to ITLs this week.
Given the short week, I will let your ITLs determine if you will need to meet as a department tomorrow. ITLs please let your team and your assigned administrator know if are holding a department meeting.
There will be NO staff meeting next Monday due to diploma distribution so expect a newsletter.
I hope you are enjoying your holiday and the beautiful weather.
Have a great week!
