Warren Elementary Weekly Update
May 4-8
A Note From Mrs. Wilkins
Warren families,
I hope you were able to enjoy some of the sunshine this weekend! This week is Teacher Appreciation week. I know the teachers would prefer to be teaching in their classrooms with their students. However, our teachers have done a remarkable job transitioning to remote learning and staying connected to their students.
Always, Warren teachers are driven by the question, “What is best for our students?” I am impressed with the relationships our teachers build, their hard work, innovative ideas, positive attitudes, and their sincere passion for education. Please join me this week in thanking our teachers.

Next week is Spirit Week! During Spirit Week send Mrs. Hornby (WHornby@helenaschools.org) photos of your daily spirit gear. We will be posting photo’s throughout spirit week.
Wishing you all the best,
Mrs. Wilkins
We are so PROUD of our Warren Students!

Remote Learning
Look for the K-5 remote learning framework from your child's/ children's teacher Monday morning. Each week your child’s/children’s teacher(s) will send you the weekly work by 8:30. The framework was designed to be accessible and manageable for families. Your child/children will be assigned two English arts assignments, two math assignments, specialist assignments (music, PE, library, counseling), and supplementary science/social studies assignments. Weekly assignments will be due to your child’s/children’s teachers by noon on Friday. Therefore, students can work on the weekly assignments whenever it fits into your family’s schedule. Teachers will be reaching out if they have not heard from a student in a couple of days. We want to stay connected.
Keep us updated on how learning is going. We recognize that we all are navigating different challenges during this unprecedented time. If you are struggling to get work completed, reach out. If you need more work for your child/children, reach out. If your child is feeling sad, reach out. If you are feeling overwhelmed or confused, reach out. We want to know how we can support your family.
Mrs. Wilkins will be reaching out to families on Monday’s ) if students work from the prior week has not been submitted. The goal of the phone call will not be a “gotchya”; the phone call will be an inquiry on how Mrs. Wilkins can help support your child’s/children’s education. We may no longer be in our building, but we have already shown that our community is strong and will work hard to best support the needs of all our students.
