Believe, Achieve, Succeed!

The beginning of every school year is always hectic and full of anxiety. This year had the added uncertainties of how and when will the schools re-open. This increased anxiety levels. When Dr. Hinojosa made the announcement that all schools will be opening September 8th virtually, this reduced the anxiety for some parents and increased anxiety levels of other parents. I can assure you that the virtual learning that begins on September 8th will be very different from the virtual learning last Spring.

We will only use PowerSchool as the online learning platform. This will limit the number of log ins that students and parents have to use to access their teachers’ virtual classrooms. Teachers will only use Zoom as the video conferencing tool used to interact real time with the students. All students will follow their schedules as if they were in the building. The students will log into the Zoom session for each of their classes at the time posted on their schedules for the day. The students will have the same time to transition to their next teacher’s digital learning environment as they would have to walk from class to class. They will have the same amount of time to eat lunch as they would if they were on campus. I will be happy to discuss any concerns that individual parents have. We believe that this is the best format to ensure accountability for the teachers and students.

Please plan to attend one or both of the virtual open house meetings scheduled for August 25th at 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm. We will give brief overviews of expectations for the staff, students and parents, share the questions and answers from our parent technology training classes, provide an opportunity for parents to ask questions and a brief counseling presentation from Ms. Johnson.

The sessions will be recorded, but please try to make it to one of the meetings. The Zoom links are below.

We are busy answering your phone calls and responding to your emails. We apologize if your call is sometimes not immediately answered. Please send me or Ms. Garrett an email and we will respond to your email in the order it is received.

We will send information on how to sign up for a 10 minute one on one with your student's teachers on September 3rd.

Thank you for your patience and your support!
