The Mustang Chronicle!
August 23, 2020
Join us in our Commitment to our Maple Mustangs!
News from Principal Lewis
It's been so great to hear how excited our teachers were to connect with our students last week, as we transitioned from summer into live virtual instruction. Whether your child is participating in Shine, Remote, or Blended, your teachers have been connecting with me to update me on how our students are doing! We spent last week working to support students who need internet or who are having challenges with their chrome books. Thank you for your patience as we managed tech issues beyond our control. We anticipate that the challenges will decrease this week. I strongly encourage you to reach out to our Tech Department to get assistance if you have any challenges that you cannot solve. The information is located below in this newsletter, under "Technology".
ENRICHMENT activities are starting this week! They will be found on our Distance Learning Site. See below for directions how to get there! Students can work on this during their Reinforcing Assignment time!
- Every Wednesday, Ms. King will have a PE activity for our students in TK-2 and 3-5!
- Every Thursday, Ms. King will have a STEAM activity for our students in TK-2 and 3-5!
- Every Friday, Ms. King will have a SCAVENGER HUNT for all students in TK-2!
Coming Soon:
Monday: Library
Tuesday: Art.
Wishing everyone a great first FULL WEEK of school!
Please reach out if you have additional questions @ plewis@conejousd.org.
Proud to be a Maple Mustang!
Principal Lewis
