DISTANCE LEARNING INFORMATION AND REMINDERS 

Remember: We are now back in our Distance Learning model.  There are NO in person classes.  Please join me for our Zoom classes.  Schedule and login information were sent in email, on paper with hybrid students, and are posted in Teams. 

Please refer to class pages and Teams for daily To-Do Lists.  Assignment instructions will be provided during Zoom classes and/or attached to the assignment in Teams. 

If students are unable to attend a Zoom class, they need to watch the video recording on their own time.  They will be posted each day to the Stream tab in each class Team. 

PICTURE DAY(S) 

Picture days will be Wednesday, October 28, and Thursday, October 29. These days are for students and staff who did not get their picture taken in September, and for students who would like retakes. *Retakes will only be given if the student brings the original photo package back to the photographer.* In general, we will be photographing in-person learners on Wednesday (because that is not costume day!) and online learners on Thursday. Online learners need to contact me for a time slot for Thursday. A staff member will be coming to the classrooms on Wednesday with the list of those students who did not already get the picture taken. 

UPSTANDERS MOVIE SCREENING 

October is Bullying Prevention Month and we have the honor of doing a virtual screening of the documentary The Upstanders.  On Wednesday, October 28th at 6pm there will be a virtual screening of the documentary as well as a panelists discussion of the film.  Email [email protected] with any questions. We hope to see you there! 

Late/Missing Work:   

-All assignments close after two weeks on Teams. If it is being turned in past that you will need to reach out to me so that we can discuss why it is so late and so that I can open the assignment back up for you.   

-If you are absent on an in-person day or are sick at home on an online day, and you cannot do your schoolwork, then you need to watch the instructional videos and makeup the work within two weeks.    

Important Dates:

Original Works:   

It is that time of year for our annual ‘Original Works’ fundraiser. For those who are new to the school or for those who have forgotten – because of all the things we have to remember these days – this is a fundraiser where kids create artwork in the “classroom”, and families have an opportunity to purchase products with their creative artwork on them. The school gets a percentage of all sales. This is typically our 3rd largest single fundraiser of the year, but with things being so different, it has the potential to be one of our largest fundraisers for the current school year.   

*Please see the Look What’s Coming and the Parent Ordering Form attachments for more details.   

Important Original Works Dates:   

Now until October 16th – Kids will create their artwork.   

October 19th through November 2nd – Families will be able to order products on the Original Works website.   

November 2nd – Order deadline date to guarantee all orders are turned around quickly and in plenty of time for the holidays.   

Late November to Early December – Products will be delivered directly to families’ homes.  

 

As always please email with any questions!
