The information gathered from the survey will enable the District to make plans for the families that may not have access to a device or reliable Internet access. At the time of this message 446 families have responded! THANK YOU! Please call you neighbors and friends and encourage them to complete the survey.

Closure Information:

Remote instruction will officially begin on April 6, 2020. The building administrators are actively working with our teaching staff. Numerous teachers shared examples of how they are connecting with families through Class Dojo, Microsoft 365 Teams, YouTube Channels, and Twitter. Mr. White and Mrs. Schneider shared that they are communicating with students using Microsoft 365 Teams to pass along online resources and tips for practicing their instruments at home. Ms. Cosner, our librarian created a YouTube channel to share some of her favorite stories with students. Mrs. Phillips is using YouTube to share resources and practice lessons for her students. We applaud these examples and are excited to hear about even more opportunities as we move closer to April 6, 2020.
