Dear Orrington Families,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and dedication to our wonderful community. Your encouragement and partnership inspire the incredible work happening every day in our classrooms.
Our educators are working tirelessly to foster a nurturing and dynamic environment where every student can thrive. Thanks to their commitment and your involvement, we see our students growing, learning, and achieving remarkable things. Together, we are creating a foundation for success and a lifelong love of learning.
Thank you for being such an integral part of our community and for trusting us with the opportunity to help your children flourish. We hope you enjoy the Fall Break and spend cherish time with families.
Best wishes,
Dr. Schoeffmann & Ms. Yoo
As we prepare for the start of the e-learning season (though fingers crossed we won't need to!), we want to ensure you are well-equipped to support your child's successful online learning. 3rd through 5th grade students will begin bringing home devices daily during this time with their QR codes, while kindergarten through second grade students will bring their devices during breaks and any foreseeable weather conditions.
If an e-learning day is called, we will send out an email with a master list of Zoom links, and Dr. Schoeffmann and Ms. Yoo will be available to troubleshoot any issues. Students will follow their schedule from 9:05AM to 11:35AM with Zoom sessions with their educators before switching to asynchronous work for the remainder of the school day.
Student expectations are as follows:
Students are expected to join the synchronous learning sessions and complete the synchronous and asynchronous work during an emergency day.
If a student cannot attend the synchronous learning window, they are to notify their classroom teacher, who will provide an additional learning option to ensure that the student receives the 5 hours of learning required.
Students are expected to use the links provided in order to complete the items that are assigned.
Students should utilize platforms to ask questions and communicate with staff.
It is expected that students keep interactions online positive and constructive.
Educators will monitor platforms and email and work to respond to student requests in a timely manner.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the Orrington administration team or your child's teacher.
