End of the Marking Period, Small Groups Schedule, and Halloween Costumes

Posted on

I just wanted to give you an update on a few important things!

This Friday marks the end of the first card marking. Because of this, the elementary students will have a half day of school. Since it is the last day of the marking period, please make sure all assignments are complete and submitted by then as well. 

The Small Groups Schedule is now posted in the “Class Information” tab on our Schoology homepage. Please refer to this to know when each student needs to meet with me for small group instruction. Be sure to follow the days and times posted to ensure each student is on track and gaining the most from their time/s. Remember, many students will also be meeting with Mrs. Glover and/or Mrs. Hansen as well, so this schedule does not include their times, but our team has worked hard together to try our best to accomodate various schedule needs. Thank you!

Furthermore, normally halloween costumes are not allowed at school (at Whitmore-Bolles) during a typical school day, but Mrs. Waddell has given the ok for students to wear Halloween costumes or attire (orange and black/Halloween colors) virtually on Friday during the half day. Please remember, since it is still during school time, any costumes worn must be school appropriate. No weapons are permitted. Please remember, costumes are optional, so it is completely okay if the students do not want to wear one. 


In-Person Learning Labs Cancelled

Posted on

n-Person Learning Labs: 

The Learning Lab Committee, district nurses, and the district leadership team met today.  As aligned with the Learning Lab guidelines in-person Learning Labs will be inactive effective tomorrow, Wednesday October 21, 2020 for an indefinite time frame. 

With this change, the students who are scheduled for in-person Learning Lasb times will have virtual labs during their scheduled time, to try keeping some consistency with schedules.



Learning Labs and Reading Groups

Posted on

3rd Graders and Families,

Now that we are on the last stretch of the beginning of the year assessments (specific skill checklists) and with the start of Learning Labs (invited students based on targeted needs at this time only), the 3rd grade team is in the process of creating reading group days/times. Since we will be meeting with Learning Lab students and/or reading groups, we will no longer continue our end of the day/open zoom room check in. If you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to e-mail me/message me in Schoology as you complete your assignments, so I can reach out to you to help clarify. Our hopes are to have a schedule set by Monday, so each student knows their scheduled days and times for group meetings (with myself, Mrs Glover, and/or Mrs. Hansen). I will be discussing our plan with the students too! Thank you for your support.

If your child is scheuled for a Learning Lab time, please arrive at the start and dismissal time promptly. Again, we are assigned to the gym door. Please be sure the students bring their Chromebook or virtual learning device and wear a mask (these are mandatory the entire time). Also, since these take place for a limited time, please have them use the restroom before arriving to school. Be sure to bring the required signed form that I sent you as well. Thank you for your cooperation!
