Updates for Week 10-5

Hello parents and students,

Wednesday is count day. Make sure your child attends the morning and afternoon live sessions. If your child needs to be absent, please call the office at 313-827-6750.

We’ve started learning labs (small group readings) this week from 1:55-3:50. I meet with 3 groups a day to work on additional reading skills and strategies. I met with your child last Friday and had them write their schedule in the planner. It is VERY important to come to groups on time because I will start promptly.

Monday through Wednesday learning lab is online via Zoom. Thursday and Friday is in person at River Oaks. Since Friday is a half day, there will be NO learning labs that afternoon. All teachers will have training and students will not attend afternoon zoom sessions.

I would like to push the in person learning labs to next week to better prepare for the students especially since Friday is a half day. So for this week only, learning labs will be all virtual via Zoom.

Please make sure to check the school blog and fill out the covid screener before bringing your child to school. By next Wednesday, I will send a detailed expectations and procedure on how to drop off and pick up your child safely from school.

I know other teachers have started learning labs since Monday but my in person days are Thursday and Friday. Again, since Friday is a half day and there are no learning labs. It doesn’t make sense to bring them in one day for 30 minutes.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Enjoy your evening and with your family and loved ones ❤️

Important Group Meetings

Hello parents,

I had a met with every student today about next week group meetings. Please check their planners on pages 32 & 33. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be on Zoom and Thursday and Friday will be in person. It will be in perso, unless the district decides to close learning labs again, then I will meet with them on Zoom. 

Please check your child’s planner and see their scheduled meetings. If you are not comfortable with the in person meetings, let me know but your child will miss the opportunity for instructional support with the teacher those days. Not every child will come to in-person learning lab. But everyone will get a chance every week to meet with me either on Zoom or in-person. 

I will send more instructions on Wednesday about the in person expectations and how to stay safe.

If you have any questions, please let me know 🙂 

Enjoy your weekend!
