Hello EQ Families,


WOW!  Parents and students you have really shown your super powers since we have not been in school together!  We thank you for all you have done to stay connected in the Google Classroom with online learning and Google Meets!  As we end this school year, we will be shifting our focus from adding new learning opportunities to the google classroom to taking time to meet with our students and wish them well as we begin summer break.


May 29 will be our last day of new continued learning in the Google Classroom/via email and teacher/ student meetings will take place June 1st - 4th.  Staff will schedule Google Meets to wish our students well, thank our families for their efforts and bring closure to the school year.  Google Classrooms will remain open for any families wishing to continue any learning previously added to the classroom or explore any enrichment activities.  The Flexible Learning page on the KASD website will also have learning opportunities for families if you would like to make use of them.


Next week brings our annual FIELD DAY, a typical end of the year event.  We will hold the all school VIRTUAL FIELD DAY on Wednesday, May 27th.  Get those minds and muscles ready boys and girls, the Field Day activities are our learning for that day!  The PE teachers have so much fun in store for you!


Mark your calendars for a virtual all school assembly on Thursday, June 4th at 10:30 a.m.  Each year we start our year together in an all school assembly and we end our year together celebrating our school family in an all school assembly.  This assembly will take place in a Google Meet format and families can watch and join in from home!


Thank you for all you have done to stay connected and engaged in learning during the safer at home closure.  You have taken being a partner in your child’s learning to a whole new level.  You are a Superhero!!!  Our school family is strong and we look forward to that time when we can once again greet each of you as you enter our school.


As always, please let me know if you have any celebrations or questions!


Wishing You Well!
Stacy Knapp
Principal








Summer School - NOW VIRTUAL!!!

Summer School will still be able to take place but in an updated "virtual" format due to the closure of our school buildings through June 30, 2020.  Courses now range from core courses such as ELA and Math to some of our popular non-core courses such as Science Exploration and Ghost Training. The goal of these courses is to bring FUN and engaging core content areas for SUMMER!  Students will be involved in activities, games, and fun challenges! These courses are open to all students.   Those students who received a letter referring them for Remedial Math or Reading can register for the math and/or reading classes for your grade level if you desire.  The classes will no longer be in a "remedial" format but rather with a focus on content from the grade level just completed to continue to strengthen student experiences and knowledge.

How will it work? 
Courses will be scheduled and teachers will deliver content virtually during the scheduled time for each class. We will use Google Classroom as our main platform this summer. Students will communicate with their teachers using Google Classroom through an email address. For students entering Grades K-2, the email address will be the primary email address for that student in Infinite Campus. Students entering grades 3-12 will use their school issued email address. Students will be expected to attend classes via Google Meets and interact with their classmates during their class times. 

Registration Window: 

REGISTRATION BEGAN FRIDAY, MAY 15 AT NOON and close on Friday, May 29th at noon.
