Supply Pick Up Days!

This week, you will be able to stop by the school for curbside pickup of student’s personal belongings and supplies. I went to school last week and packed up everything from the lockers, desks, and book boxes. Each student has a large paper bag full of goodies (including a little gift from me). If you’d like to see me at the pick-up, I will be at school from 1:00-3:00 on Thursday. You can also come on Friday from 1:00-3:00.

I wanted to let everyone know about updates on school-wide and district-wide information that recently was provided to teachers during this week’s staff meeting.

Food Service for Memorial Day

Memorial Day Holiday – seven days of meals will be distributed on the Wednesday (May 20) prior to the Memorial Day Weekend Holiday.

Student Supplies Pick-Up Dates

We will be passing out students’ belongings from desks and lockers on May 14 and 15 from 1:00-3:00. Third grade will be stationed on Coburn for curbside pickup. I signed up to pass out materials on May 14.

I went through every student’s desk and locker and put everything in the bags, along with an end of the year treat and the Unit 7 math book. Please make sure to take time during the next few months to go through these materials and complete pages to help reinforce third grade learning. We want our students to be confident when they enter 4th grade in the fall!

If your third grader had library books in the school (book boxes, desks, lockers), I have returned those to our school library. However, if you have books or materials at home that belong to the school, you’ll have an opportunity to do that soon. I’ll let you know when that information becomes available to me.

I hope everyone is doing well! I want to congratulate everyone for another successful week of Remote Learning! Please make sure to have students watch the How To Videos for starting up their email accounts and complete the assignment from WishTree (found in the final video). Here is this week’s assignments!

Assignments for the Week of May 4

Please look for an announcement later in the week for information on when you will be able to pick up your child’s belongings from school. I am working to get these items put together and they will be available to be picked up by you, curbside at Haigh soon.

Google meet sessions have been suspended for the time being. Please see the message sent out from Dr. Maleyko.

Dr. Maleyko’s Message

Please make sure your child is listening to The Wishtree videos, posted as links to my youtube channel in the Wishtree page at the top of my blog. We will be finishing that book this week and beginning a new novel next week!

To help with technology, we will have additional chromebook pick up days. The first day is scheduled for Monday, April 27th from 1:00-3:30pm. Any family that is interested needs to complete the survey below in order to receive a Chromebook . This survey provides us with the number of Chromebooks that our volunteers will need to clean and prep. We are very pleased to be able to offer this technology for your families! CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE TECHNOLOGY SURVEY.

So, this week marks a bit of a transition to a new format of learning for our students. The superintendent sent out information with updated guidelines that can be found on his blog. Click here for Dr. Maleyko’s blog. As a result, I will be checking in with students and families to ensure that students are completing work and making progress on assignments. I have also noted in the Essential Remote Learning Plan the times that I will be available to answer email questions/concerns from parents/guardians.

You are all doing an AMAZING job! I want to congratulate all of my students and parents for the support and effort over these past few weeks. It has been stressful and yet, there have been moments of fun. I will continue to work with you all to make sure that your child’s last quarter of third grade is the best that it can be. Thank you for the work you are doing to make this historical moment a time of learning and of coming together.
