Parent Letter Core Knowledge ELA Field Study Continuation Spring 2026.docx"As part of our commitment to transparency, we invite you to attend one of two "open house" sessions to review these materials, ask questions, and share your feedback."
Students will let teachers know how many they want and turn in money to the teacher. The orders are filled and returned to the students at the end of the day to go home.

We are in need of boys AND girls pants sizes 6-8 for the nurse's office, for students who may need a change during the school day. If you are able, we would appreciate any donations of gently used clothing. You may drop off donations to the front office. No jeans or shorts please. Thank you for your support!
INCLEMENT WEATHER INFORMATION:
There may be some occasions when attending school due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may not be advisable. Student safety and learning is always the top priority for Millard Public Schools. With that in mind, Millard Public Schools will utilize a few options including 1) eLearning Days 2) Late Starts and 3) cancelling school. Late Start and eLearning days will not need to be made up at the end of the school year.
The District will communicate with staff and families when we may need to utilize one of these options. Announcements related to using any of the above options will be made on the radio and TV stations by 6 a.m. The announcement will also be posted on Millard’s website: www.mpsomaha.org. Parents and staff will also receive automated phone calls, texts and emails from our automated system. Typically, phone calls occur after 6:00 a.m., depending on when the decision is made.
Late start days will begin exactly 2 hours later than the normal school start time. When weather permits for a later start, the streets, sidewalks and parking lots can be better cleared and rush hour traffic can be complete. Doors will open on late start days at 10:15 a.m. School will begin at 10:30 a.m. We will have grab and go breakfast available for students that did not eat breakfast. Our lunch schedule will remain the same.
During an eLearning Day (students do not attend school) it allows for the scope and sequence of the coursework to stay on track and minimize disruptions to the learning process by leveraging technology, digital tools and other educational resources. Teachers will share information for assignments/tasks on an eLearning Day.
You can expect these things to occur for an eLearning day from Cather Elementary.
Teachers will talk with students and parents prior to the eLearning day at conferences to clearly explain what eLearning day procedures are for students.
You can expect eLearning day assignments to take 30-60 minutes to complete.
Teachers will be checking their emails periodically from 8:30 a.m until 3:30 p.m. to answer any questions that students and/or parents have.
Students will have 2 days to complete the eLearning assignment and hand it in.
A Canceled Day / Traditional Snow Day
On a day when school is canceled, schools are closed and no work is assigned.
