Good Morning,
Please read through the following updates carefully. Thank you, in advance, for your understanding.
- Grade 4 will be learning in person with Mrs. Bartosch and Mrs. DeGroot. They will learn via Google Meet with Mrs. Van Helvoirt.
- Grades 2 & 3 will learn virtually. Chromebooks will be sent home for all students who will be learning virtually.
The following information pertains to Grades 2 & 3:
SUPPLY PICK UP
Parents of students in grades 2 & 3, please stop by school to pick up your child's supplies during one of the following times:
- Thursday, April 29 2:30-4:00 PM
- Friday, April 30 7:30-8:00 AM
Friday, April 30 through Wednesday, May 5
In person learning resumes Thursday, May 6
- Students are expected to be in attendance for virtual learning sessions. Reminder: If a student is unable to attend a virtual session, a parent must email the teacher in advance as attendance is taken during each session and reported to the school office.
- Each session will last about 30-45 minutes. Following each session, the students may be asked to complete work independently.
- Google Meet links will be sent via email to:
- 2nd grade parents & students
- 3rd grade parents & students
- Please refer to the schedule below:
VIRTUAL ASSIGNMENT SHEETS
 |
| Sample Virtual Assignment Sheet |
Virtual assignment sheets will be updated daily. Typically, assignments will be posted shortly after zoom sessions end. However, please note that updates may be made up until 3pm. Emails with the attachment will be sent to:
- 2nd Grade parents and students
- 3rd Grade parents and students
How to prepare for virtual instruction:
- Chromebooks/computers should be charged and ready to use with email open.
- Students should have their school email open waiting to receive the Google Meet invite.
- NEW: In an effort to provide the safest environment for online learning, email invites/links will not be sent to the students (and parents) until immediately before the class begins.
- When students receive the email, they should open it and click on the link right away.
- Likewise, students may not remain on the virtual session afterward without a teacher present. Upon the conclusion of each Google Meet, the link will be dismantled and students will no longer be able to access them.
- These changes are in effect for the best interest of all students.
- Always be in a quiet workspace.
- Plan ahead...use the bathroom ahead of time, eat and drink before and/or after sessions, but not during.
- Due to the short classes, students should please refrain from bringing toys, stuffed animals, etc. into their workspace.
- Demonstrate respect and good listening. As a rule of thumb, if a student wouldn't do something in the classroom, they also shouldn't do it when learning virtually. We are looking forward to seeing the students and to having productive and engaging sessions!
Students should remember to listen carefully for their homework at the end of the session. If a student or parent is unsure, you will be able to check the virtual assignment sheet which is also being sent on email.

Parents, please feel free to reach out to us via email if you have any questions. Again, we understand that the days ahead may be challenging. Please know that we are here to offer support in any way we can.
Thank You,
Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Bartosch & Mrs. Van Helvoirt
