Morning Meeting – Staying Connected Matters! Morning Meeting – Staying Connected Matters!

While Morning Meeting is optional, we strongly encourage students to participate whenever possible!

Online learning offers wonderful flexibility, but students can miss some of the natural social interaction that happens throughout a traditional school day. Morning Meeting provides an important opportunity for students to connect with classmates, build friendships, interact with their teachers, and feel part of our CIO school community.



Parents and caregivers, please become familiar with your child's Morning Meeting days and times and encourage them to join when they can. Making Morning Meeting part of your family's regular routine is a great way to help your child stay connected socially while learning online.


How to Join Morning Meeting:
Students can find the Morning Meeting Google Meet link in their Google Classroom Stream. Simply open Google Classroom, go to the class Stream, and click the Join link for Morning Meeting.


Morning Meeting Schedule

  • Grade K: with Ms. Hollmann Monday - Thursday @ 10:00 am
  • Grade 4-8: with Mrs. Wessel Monday - Thursday @ 10:00 am
  • Grade 2-3: with Ms. Hollmann Monday - Thursday @ 10:30 am


We hope to see your student there! Even though participation is optional, the connections and relationships students build through Morning Meeting are an important part of their online school experience.

It was so great to meet some of you yesterday during our Open House.

I am reaching out to share a quick overview of what Online Academic Advisor does for our 7th and 8th graders.

What the Online Advisor Does:

  • Tracks Progress: Keeps an eye on grades and course completion to help students early if they fall behind.

  • Teaches Study Habits: Helps students to manage their time, stay organized, and handle online classes independently.

  • Builds Connections: Can meet 1-on-1 with students regularly so they feel supported and included in a remote setting.

  • Keeps Parents Updated: Acts as a contact point between families, online teachers, and the school.

Ultimately, the advisor ensures online learning is supportive, organized, and focused on every student's growth.

Myself and Mrs. Wessel will be offering many ways to connect during the day to offer support.

  • Host Morning Meetings

  • Provide Office Hours/Help Meets

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we’re here to help in any way we can!

Skyward Family Access received a major system upgrade this summer, bringing updated tools and improvements that will better support families and schools moving forward. If you haven't yet uninstalled the previous Skyward app and reinstalled the updated version, that's a great first step. You can also bookmark the new Skyward Family Access site for easy access going forward. The district will continue sharing helpful tips and resources as you become familiar with the updated system, and we're excited about what these improvements will make possible throughout the 2026-27 school year.
