Information About Remote Learning Days

Remote learning days will focus on special area classes and skills that students are learning in class.  Your student will participate in scheduled specials, such as art and music. You will receive information about joining the special area Meets from your child's special area teachers. 

Your child will also participate in a class Google Meet with me at 2:15 on remote learning days. Attendance will be taken during the Meet. You will find the Meet link in our Google Classroom 5 minutes before the Meet begins.  When your child is in school for in person learning, he or she will receive school work to work on at home during the remote learning days. As we move forward, I will post additional activities in our Google Classroom.

 Each student will receive an ID number on the first day of school. This ID number is used for buying lunch in the cafeteria. The number links to their account, which you can add money to at any time.  I will provide lunch cards with ID numbers for the children to use until they have their numbers memorized. If you choose to send lunch money in with your child instead, please have it clearly labeled with your child's name. You will be notified when the balance is getting low. 

Friendly Reminder

Please write your child's name on the envelope when sending in lunch money.

Thank you!
