As I am sure you have read not only from the Superintendent but from our school as well, remote learning will now be officially documented by teachers to produce grades for a fourth report card. Before panic sets in, the “grades” will be based on partcipation and effort. Please be assured I know each student’s capabilities, family situations (work, multiple siblings, etc.), and lack of resources. The district is doing everything possible to provide experiences and resources when needed. Attached you will find a suggested allotment of minutes per day your child should try to follow for our Third Grade Schedule. As long as your child is doing their best, that is what will matter. Please DO NOT WORRY. Do what is possible each day. If your child needs to catch up a little on the weekend, that is acceptable.

The third grade teachers will have “office hours” where we will be available each day to answer your questions via email. Some days, we are getting a lot of emails, so please allow at least a day for us to get back with you. We are also trying to do our best in this new situation. We will be available between 9-11:00 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 1-3 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
You can find these schedules (above) and the 3rd Grade Weekly Assignment Calendar under the On-Line Learning tab.
I am looking forward to all of the wonderful learning that will take place at home. The 3rd grade teachers have worked hard to provide your child with meaningful activities.
