January 2021 Welcome Back
Sandwich Middle School
E-Learning Days for "Snow Days"
While students, staff and families have been engaged in full remote learning, we all know there is no substitute for in-person learning. We also know that the winter weather in the Midwest can be somewhat of a hindrance when traveling to and from school. In the future, when in-person learning is scheduled whether it is A/B days or “back to normal”, using an e-learning day will be considered should there be inclement weather.
Since Sandwich CUSD #430 is now 1:1 and students and staff are familiar with remote learning, please be prepared, on a daily basis, to shift to e-learning on so-called “snow days”. Please note, this will require everyone taking the responsibility of having their school issued personal device available for use at all times. Unlike previous years, e-learning days do not need to be made up at the end of the school year. Once decided, e-learning days will be communicated via the district webpage and school messenger.
ATTENDANCE
During remote learning, students must sign in on the SMS Attendance Google Classroom. This is necessary in order for a student to be marked in attendance. If a student does not log in, their absence will be unexcused and the student will not earn credit for work completed.
GRADING
As stated many times, student work is being graded and will determine a student's final grade. There are no incompletes on report cards. Students will earn one of the following; A, B, C, D, F.
STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING
Students will not be allowed in the building during the schools remote learning days. If you need anything from the school, please set that up with your student's teachers.
ADAPTIVE PAUSE FREE MEAL PICKUP
Until the end of the school year, free food is available through the USDA's "Free Meals for Kids" program. During our adaptive pause from blended learning, each week, you will need to fill out a meal order form by Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. for the NEXT week. Meals will be picked up Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00-11:00 am behind Sandwich Middle School.
Meal order deadlines during the adaptive pause:
- January 6th at 12:00 noon
Starting the week of January 18th, we will return to ordering food using the same process that was in place prior to the adaptive pause.
