Mrs. Anders' First Day Reminder

Greetings, North Johnston Middle Students, Families, and Staff!

This is Heather Anders, Principal of North Johnston Middle, with some important information and reminders. Online learning starts for all students tomorrow, Monday, August 17.

If you and your child picked up their schedule and learning materials last week, the information needed for tomorrow is included in the folder provided to each student and family. If you did not have an opportunity to pick up your child’s schedule, Chromebook, or learning materials, these items will be available tomorrow from 1:00-4:00 pm.

Students should use their student schedule to locate the Google classroom codes for their teachers. Students should join the Google classroom of their teachers. All students in a specific grade level will attend their core classes and enhancement classes at a designated time based on this schedule. Students will attend at the designated time for synchronous or live instruction. Classes will be held using Google Meet. Links for the Google Meet sessions will be provided in the teacher’s Google Classroom. Information about online learning is also available on our school website under the “Online Learning @ Home” tab and will be updated throughout the week.

Also, beginning Monday, August 17, free breakfast and lunch meals will be available Monday through Friday from 11:00 am -12:00 pm. Students will receive a free lunch and a free breakfast for the next day through August 31st. More information will be provided prior to that date about the status of meals. Parents are encouraged to complete the lunch applications online prior to that date.

We will host our Virtual Open House and Orientation on Tuesday, August 18 from 5:00-7:15. Families will be able to join Google Meets to hear presentations by our grade level and enhancement teams. The Google Meet links will be posted prior to the start of the event on our school website.

If any student is having login issues, please visit our website and complete the technical issues or help form that is located on our website. The issues will be addressed as soon as possible and a staff member will reach out to you. If a family is still awaiting a hotspot to begin virtual learning, please know that we are hoping to secure them at the beginning of the week and call those families who previously requested one.

As always, please visit our school website or contact the front office if you have any questions or concerns.
