Daily Schedule: 10/5 – 10/9
Parents,
Next week is an important week for our district. We will be doing our COUNT DAY during synchronous instruction next week. This important day determines the funds and resources our district receives per pupil from the State of Michigan. It is imperative that your child is in class next week. In order for us to count your child as “present”, we need to ensure they see all of their teachers in live instruction every day. To do this, we have to adjust our schedule for next week only. We are still holding the NWEA Math Assessment next Wednesday, October 7th during asynchronous instruction. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility during this process. On October 12th, we will return to our regular schedule.
Meal Distribution Surveys
Parents, please complete this survey!
We’re looking to get feedback from parents and students on our current meal distribution system. Ultimately this feedback will help determine the direction of the program for the remainder of our virtual learning phase.
