ATTENTION ONLINE LEARNERS & PARENTS. The way that attendance is being taken for online learning is from assignment completion and through contacts made with the teacher and student. Students should be checking their emails on a daily basis and reply to the teacher reaching out to them. If the student does not reply, according to the ISD, they are considered absent, so please respond top any teacher reaching out to you. If you have any questions about the work on either APEX or Moby Max, please reach out to the teacher of record for the class. Thanks for your patience and cooperation in the matter.
If you would like to see how your student is doing on APEX Learning, follow these steps:
Coach report. To set that up:
Menu > Students > select student > Edit > Coaches tab
enter e-mail address(es) > add
As always, if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Scott at the High School.
A special thank you for their patience to all of the students and families who have chosen the online learning for this school year. APEX learning is up and running and after talking with Achieve3000, they hope to be up and running by tomorrow. One of the many good things about online learning is that students are not confined to the regular school day or week and despite not starting when the inperson students did, they can work at their own pace and "catch up" rather quickly. Thank you again and if you have any questions please contact Mr. Scott at 363-6661
I apologize as I should have had this going since day one but in order to keep our K-5 students cohorted and stick to our school plan, every grade will play within their specific zone for that day for recess. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but it is all being done to keep the kids safe. Thanks for your patience and understanding on the matter.
The new band practice
Don’t forget tonight is our first home volleyball match!
Unfortunately only those with vouchers will be able to attend - however we will be live streaming the game on our Athletics Facebook page.
For those attending please bring correct change with your voucher and make sure you’re practicing the safety protocols with distancing and facial coverings at all times.
