Last Day of School
Digital Learning at Home... Week 5 complete!
I hope everyone had a very good week 5 and are looking forward to the weekend. Some businesses are starting to open back up, but we need to remember to continue to keep our distance, stay smart with decisions, and be safe for the sake of your family and loved ones.
We have one month left of school and it's going to go by quickly, do what you can to help keep your child positive and focused to make this last month of school a good one! Maybe you need some advise on creating a schedule, keeping your child motivated, or how to stay consistent with rules. Check out Focus on Five: Tips for Parents for Home Learning for simple, easy tips to help you navigate this last month of online schooling.
Reminder: PLEASE make sure your child is logging-on to eCLASS every day and completing their assignments, please contact your child's teacher with any questions regarding assignments.
Do you know of a family, new to the Shiloh ES community, that has a rising kindergartner for next school year? Please tell that family to go to our school website at www.shilohes.org and on the homepage they will find the link to the Shiloh Elementary Online Kindergarten Transition Presentation video along with a "sign-in form" and a very short "evaluation". This K Transition video will help to answer questions or concerns for any new parent and will help them prepare their child for kindergarten.
