Quarentive Procedures

We want to inform you of the procedures to follow to keep up with assignments while quarantined. Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom and and labeled with the date by 8:30 AM. All of the day's assignments will be listed and any additional links to assignments will be located in that post as well. Your child can work on assignments independently throughout the day to stay caught up. Your child may have to print some materials at home, however, we will send home the items we already have printed. All subjects and assignments will be posted in the same location for both teachers.

When the paper assignments are completed for the day, please scan and submit them through the appropriate Google Classroom post. All paper tests need to be submitted by 4:00 pm the same day they are assigned. Staying caught up will make the time in quarantine more manageable and help your student when he/she returns to school.
