Virtual Students

*The following info is for students who are 100% virtual.* 

"At Home Learning Binder"

• All virtual students have been given a "Home Learning Binder" along with various school supplies and manipulatives. See a list of materials found in the binder here.

• Please make sure your child keeps all of these materials in a safe place. They will need to be returned to school if/when children return to the classroom  We do not have duplicate sets of math workbooks, supplies and materials.

• The materials should be used as directed by the teacher to ensure that the supplies last.  Children should not randomly pick items or workbook pages to do.

Notes about next week (9/8-9/11):

• Your child will have the opportunity to have a brief one-on-one Google Meet with Mrs. Riley. Please check your email next week for more information.

• Your child will be assigned one or two "activities" on their SeeSaw app each day next week.

  • Please sign up for the Family SeeSaw app to be able to read announcements from the teacher and view your child's activities. Information to create an account is inside of your child's Home Learning Binder.

  • Your child will receive messages from Special Area teachers. It will be sent to their school Gmail account.
