We hope this week has been good to you and your family. Teachers have been reaching out to students all week. Please make sure your student is checking their email. If you have access to Google Classroom please make sure they join that as well. If you do not have access please just complete the packets the best you can. You might send the teacher an email just letting them know that you do not have access. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out to the teachers through email or phone. If you cannot get in touch with them you can call the office and leave a message. We will do our best to get the message to the teacher in a timely manner. Reach out to them as questions arise!
Students need to complete as much of the packets as possible. While grading won’t look the same, teachers will still be giving feedback on work and will give students a pass/incomplete type of grade. When you return work it will be delivered to teachers for them to give feedback. We are a team and they understand that not all students have access to google classroom, google meet, etc. As of right now we are asking that you plan to return completed work each week when you pick up the new packets. My biggest message to you as families right now is to not stress or get overwhelmed. We are here to help you and we only expect you to take it one day at a time.
Meal distribution will be next Monday, April 13 from 9-11 am. If you are picking up meals during that time we will continue to put your updated learning packets in with your meals. When you come to pick up meals please bring your child’s completed work. If you can put it in either a Ziplock bag or a Walmart bag with your child’s name, grade, and homeroom teacher on the front that would be appreciated! We will make sure it gets to the correct teacher. If you are not picking up meals we ask that you come get your child’s updated learning packets and return completed work anytime from 3-5 pm on Monday, April 13. Again, if you can place your child’s completed work in some sort of bag with their name, grade, and homeroom teacher on the front that would be wonderful.
Remember, both procedures will be run as a drive through. We ask that you come into the East parking lot. A staff member will be out there to “check” you in and we will bring materials to your car. In order to practice social distancing we ask that you just open your trunk and we will place materials in the trunk. If we cannot get into your trunk we can place things in the backseat or hand them to you through the window. Please have your child’s completed work in a bag in the trunk or ready to hand through the window as well. This helps ensure that when we deliver the meals and/or updated packets we can retrieve the completed work without making physical contact as well.
Continue to follow us on social media. Make sure you are checking your email each day for updated information. If you have any questions my email is nallk@cusd305.org. Please reach out if you need to. Thank you for working with us through this time. We hope to see everyone soon! We will get through this together and we will be stronger as a district. I have seen so many great things from our staff, parents, students, and community. Currently the school closure is through April 30, 2020. As always, when we get any updates from the state we will communicate that to you immediately.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristin L. Nall, AHGS Principal
