Note from Mrs. Knapp...
I hope your first week with the updated Flexible Learning our teachers have been providing went as well as can be expected!!! Thank you for braving the unknown with us all and helping the teachers feel comfortable as well with the platform of sharing learning options digitally with you!
Again, we know each family is coming at this from a very different perspective. We have asked teachers to maintain contact with students and families from a relationship and connection standpoint. With this you have experienced classroom meeting opportunities through Google Hangout or video recordings of the teachers. The meetings and the other reading, writing, math, and extension activities are a resource or reference for students and families to use as you see fit. Please know that the meetings or items provided from teachers are not a requirement by any means. There are some families that are not able to do any of this, and we are ok with that, and there are families that are able to do parts and other families finding more to do beyond this. We understand and accept whatever extent you wish or are able to use any of the items sent.
We now received the news last week that we will no longer return to our school buildings for learning for the remainder of the school year. Families should have received district level communication via mail and there were various posts on social media sites. District leadership and staff will continue to meet and within time will have more updates for the things you may be wondering such as how to get remaining personal materials, supplies and etc. We want to assure we have things in order to meet needs and assure safety for all and once things are set in place they will be shared out.
Thank you for keeping in touch with us and all the hard work you are doing! We know each of our families are doing the best we can. The time you spend with your children with even everyday tasks such as making and eating meals together, going on walks, getting creative with a cardboard box, and more can mean more than anything.
Stay safe and be well!

WATCH FOR REFUNDS!
We are in the process of reimbursing field trip money that was collected. We will be returning checks that were not deposited. If your funds were deposited, we will issue a check. IF you have children in different grades (different trips) we will try to send one check with any/all trips accounted for on the check.
UPDATE from Mrs. Jersett**
Yes, unfortunately we ran out of checks...We are waiting for our order of checks to arrive to continue the refunds. As soon as the checks arrive we will complete the rest of the payments. Thank you for your patience in advance!
