Dear Families,

Are your kids getting bored with their books? Do they need more challenging or interesting books to read? If so, I can help with that! We are celebrating Scholastic’s 100th Birthday and you can be a Reading Hero even from home. Please order today through Wednesday, April 22. When the books arrive, I will be making direct deliveries to your front porch. Thank you for supporting your child’s reading success by being their Reading Hero!

Stay safe! 

Mrs. Lozon

I have created a tab on the top of the blog to help you quickly access the most current math homework answers. Please click this tab to help your child to correct their answers.

I have arranged another virtual visit for our class this week on Tuesday. Please visit our Google Classroom for further details. Thanks!

Haigh Community, 

In an effort to continue to help with online learning our school district and Haigh are collecting additional information about technology at home. These results help us plan for our instruction and will also allow for an additional chromebook pick-up day in the future.  These results are confidential to the school and will be shared with the necessary classroom and resource teachers and administrators only. Please complete this survey as early as possible. Thank you.

Mr. Short

Have fun! I look forward to hearing all about what you did next week when we return to online learning!

We made it to spring break!  I know it probably isn’t the usual relief we would feel when we arrive at this break, but please allow yourselves some time to relax this week.  There won’t be any actual assignments sent out this week. Instead I will send out some extra, fun things on Sunday in case you are interested, that you can do during the week with your family.  Please peruse them at your leisure if you are interested. If your student is behind on some of the work from the last 3 weeks, they can also use next week to catch up as well.  

Finally, if you haven’t done so, please check out the link to the video that the Haigh staff put together for all of you. You can watch that video here.  We miss you, and we hope to see you soon.  Have a wonderful spring break!
