4/6/20 Excellence in all we do!
Turning The Corner
Good afternoon all,
Well, I woke up Saturday morning to my bedroom door being completely sealed off in duct tape. It was a creative first strike in what my family has begun calling, "April Fool's Month". I have my plans for retaliation, and I'm sure it will go back and forth until my wife makes us stop. It was a pleasant distraction from an emotional week for myself and our teachers.
What hit me this week was loss. It should have been our District Track Meet. We're not sure what we can do about our NJHS Induction Ceremony. What do we do about the College and Career project for 8th graders? Our 6th grade band trip was rescheduled with no date in sight. The teachers at LVMS were truly sad this past week as we tried to come to grips with these changes. However, we mainly talked about how it's okay to grieve through this process - don't shortchange your feelings - don't pretend you're not hurting. You cannot truly move on without acknowledging your emotions.
Throughout this situation, we have always been focused on our students. How can we still be there for them? After a rough last week, we are ready to move to that next step. Distance learning will begin on Monday, April 20th, and the teachers are getting their lessons ready now. A few things to get ready for - make sure your student is logged onto Google Classroom. Have them check in with their teachers in the next week or so. If you need a device, or you will need paper versions because of issues with the Internet, please let me know and we will make sure to get you everything you need.
All reports say that the next few weeks are going to be rough. Take care of yourself and those around you. If you know of anyone that could use help, please let me know. We will get through this together - even though we can't see each other, we can still be there for each other.
Miss everyone a lot,
Mr. Holt
P.S. I'm open to any and all ideas on how to get my boys back!
Course Selection Guides
8th Graders will get their course selection guide shortly from the high school.

Google Classrooms and Email Addresses
Here are student logins for Google Classroom. Some classrooms are set up by period, others are set up by Grade Level. I know this list may be overwhelming, but just keep it is a reference and go back to it as needed. Remember - these are STUDENT logins! If a parent would like to access, please talk to the teacher to get the parent login. Also, remember that some of these are brand new, and we are creating them as we speak, so please give us a little grace as we move to a digital classroom. All assignments are enrichment and optional at this point, and no grades will be taken.
Important Note - Your students may be enrolled in many of these classes already! Go through your student's schedule to see which classes are new.
