Welcome to 4th Grade
August Edition
Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!
Hello Shark Families!
Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!! We are so excited to be welcoming 4th graders back to school this week! We have been working hard and putting plans into place to assure that the transition into this unusual school year will go smoothly for our students. As a team we will be creating an assignment calendar each month since we will not be utilizing agendas this year. Paper copies will be distributed and also posted on the SRE web page and other social media. This month's newsletter contains information about cohorts, 1:1 devices, masks, meeting the 4th grade team members and links from OCS. Please feel free to reach out to us by phone or email if you have any questions.

Technology and Cohort Information
Technology is obviously going to be a big part of our learning this year. Here are a few important details about the distribution of devices and assignment activities for virtual days this week:
- We know that students in Cohort B will not have devices for the first three days of school. 4th grade has planned for this and assignments for students to complete can be done without their device. An activity choice board for all subjects is posted on our web pages. Students will choose 1 activity from each subject area to complete on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Students in Cohort A will be given a paper copy of the choice board to complete on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
- Distribution of a 1:1 device is dependent upon completion of the accompanying paperwork that will go home with students on their first day of in-person attendance. We can not provide a device to a student to bring home until we have the signed paperwork.
- All students will be required to pay the $25 technology insurance fee, however devices will not be withheld from students until the fee is paid.
- If you have questions about the 1:1 device or the assignments for remote learning days, please contact your child's 4th grade teacher.
- 4th grade students online learning will start Monday, August 24th.
