Hi 5th grade families!!

Dear Snow Families,

The Michigan Department of Education MDE has recently given Snow a school grade of letter “A”!  Our students are performing and we want to continue to soar! During this time of shut down, we are going to work hard to continue student learning.  We are asking all Snow families to do the following:

-iReady for a minimum of 2 hours per week. 

-Read “Good fit” books. (K-2) 20 min daily, (3-5) 30-45  min daily.

-At least 1 lesson per day on Zearn.

-4^th and 5^th grade Khan Academy for 20 minutes daily.

-Grades 2-5 will receive assignments via Google Classroom.

There will be additional assignments based on classrooms/grades. Teachers and support staff will be monitoring student learning. 

Please check your emails regularly! This will be the main method of communication between school and home. Phone calls will be made as necessary. 

Due to the fact that we are moving to online learning for this period of shut down, please limit recreational screen time! (Social media, YouTube, video games, television, etc…)

iReady, Moby Max, Khan Academy and Google Classroom all can be accessed through Clever.  Directions to login will be posted on the Snow blog.

I will make announcements as I receive them on the Snow blog.  Thank you in advance for supporting our students! 

Sincerely,

Amal Alcodray

Snow Principal

Dear Snow Community,

With confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Michigan, it is imperative that we educate ourselves regarding the FACTS behind the virus.  Please access Wayne County Health Department at the following URL for updates:

https://www.waynecounty.com/departments/hhvs/wellness/novel-coronavirus-information.aspx

At Snow, we are taking measures to increase focus on cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces including desks, floors, bathrooms, door handles and cafeteria.  The kitchen will no longer have open salad bar and share tables. We are encouraging students to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly as good hygiene practices help prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

If your child is sick, please keep them at home.  Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds. Use alcohol based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and warm water are not available. Disinfect frequently used surfaces as much as possible. 

Please reach out to me if you have any questions/concerns 313-827-6250.

Sincerely,

Amal Alcodray

Snow Principal
