SBAC

On Tuesday April 13 and Wednesday, April 14, we will test in our classroom from 8:50-11:30 a.m. Please have your students at school by 8:45 a.m. as we will start at 8:50 a.m.. If your student is coming in to test and does not have a Chromebook, please let me know ASAP as I will have to get one for testing days. If you have opted out of SBAC testing, your student will work at their desk with a paper packet during that time.

Return to School Reminder

Mrs. Mills asked that we share the following information with you for those students returning to in class instruction on April 6, 2021. If you are receiving this message, your student will return to face-to-face learning on April 6. There are two attachments to this emailing containing a large amount of information. These documents are your best source for specific face-to-face procedures. Please note that adhering to these guidelines are required for in person instruction.

ALL students returning to in person learning MUST have a school-issued Chromebook. Students cannot bring their own device. You SHOULD purchase headphones/earbuds for your student to use while they are in class. iPods and Bluetooth devices will not work on school Chromebooks in class. If a student does not have a school-issued Chromebook AND they are returning on April 6th, please let me know as soon as possible. I have polled the students, but want to verify before requesting one from the district.

School uniforms and dress code requirements will NOT be enforced as we return to school for the remainder of this year.

Also attached is our 5th Grade Supply List that contains quick notes about Drop Off/Pick Up, lunch procedures, and no the supplies students will need for return to face-to-face instruction.

As always, we are here should you have any questions.
