Cub Connections

Parents and students have done an amazing job of learning from home. We are almost there. Keep pressing on until May 22nd! If you have worked ahead and finished the work, then we encourage you to check out the extra resources on the Digital Backpack page or just read a good book!

Monday morning begins Week 5 of our Blended Learning Plan. Remember, we are here to support you!

In each weekly Cub Connection between now and May 22nd, we will list the lesson plans for our PE and "Specials." Specials include art, computer, guidance, and library. Your student attends PE daily but we will only post lessons for 2-3 days. They also attend each of these specials once a week so there is only one lesson for the week for these classes.

New plans will be posted each week but the plans will remain from past weeks as well. This way, they can be done at any time between now and May 22nd.

If you have questions about these lessons, please email the teacher:

PE- brandolph@mcssk12.org

Art- jguay@mcssk12.org

Computer K-2- cdever@mcssk12.org

Computer 3-5- bmerryman@mcssk12.org

Guidance- yfletcher@mcssk12.org

Library- llovette@mcssk12.org

It's FINALLY time to order school supply kits! Just like everything else, it's going to be a little different this year. These are the same supply kits we have always gotten, but this year, we are going to order them off the company's website. Follow the link below and enter Endeavor's code (80068) to get started:

https://www.shopttkits.com/

The website will be open until May 15th.

Please go online and register your student for the 2020-2021 school year. Snap codes have been mailed twice to the email we have on file. If you cannot locate your snap code, please email Mrs. Dunham and she will be happy to help you. She is also the lady with all the answers to everything registration! She is currently working on Mondays and Thursdays and can be reached at cdunham@mcssk12.org.

As of right now, the Central Office is saying that the return of items will take place when we return to school. Library books, textbooks, and books that belong to classroom teachers that students have at home should be kept in a safe place and returned to school the first week. There will be a Chromebook drop off at some point, but we have not been given a date yet. When the work is complete, the students may continue to use the Chromebooks until we let you know that a drop off is taking place.

Personal belongings that students left in their lockers or desks are being placed in bags with the student's name and homeroom teacher. Teachers will be the ones collecting these personal items. If there is something specific that you wish to ensure that you get back, please email your child's teacher. We will do our best to locate all personal items and keep these in a safe place until they can be returned to students. I am hoping that there will be a pick-up for 5th graders prior to the start of school.

If there is something that you must retrieve sooner, please email me and I will find a way to get the item for you. If your student is withdrawing, email me or Mrs. Dunham and as you withdraw, we will gather all of the personal belongings for you.

Let us know if you have questions. jmcalister@mcssk12.org or cdunham@mcssk12.org

Parents often email us, throughout the summer, asking for certain things for their child for the next school year. If there are things you would like us to consider in the placement of your child for next school year, please complete the form below rather than emailing. This will ensure that emails are not missed or lost. Please complete a separate form for each child.

Grades K-4 will be self-contained next year as a result of the consideration of many data points including information from parent surveys. A list of our staff for next year will be available by mid-June or sooner. I will post this as soon as all positions are finalized.

Dear Families,

If you would like to place an order for the Lifetouch school pictures that were taken earlier this Spring, go to mylifetouch.com. Free shipping to your homes will be available until May 31, 2020, when you order on mylifetouch.com with promo code SMILES.
