Thank you for an Outstanding Year

Thank you so much for your support as we navigated a very unique and challenging school year. Though the school year did not go the way we originally planned; with your help, we were still able to make it a successful year for our students. I could not be more proud of their hard work, determination, and growth this year. I also want to recognize the tremendous effort that the Audubon staff put forth to continually change and evolve their practices to ensure that our students could learn and grow despite many challenges and obstacles.

As we enter into the summer, I know that many of you have questions regarding the 2021-22 school year and which safety precautions will be in place. Unfortunately, at this time, I do not have a lot of information regarding next year's guidelines. As we get closer to the start of the school year, we will reach out with that information.

I hope each of you has a happy and safe summer.

We will be kicking off our spring fundraiser this week. Our goal with this fundraiser is to upgrade Chromebooks in our school. We have been intentional about creating a fundraising plan that will not require any in-person selling. Your child's fundraising information can be sent to friends and family through text, email, or social media. Orders can be placed online and can even be set up to be delivered directly to the customer.

We greatly appreciate your support of our students.

Transition to Distance Learning

On November 23rd Daviess County Public Schools will transition to Distance Learning (Red Light Status) and remain on that status through December 18th. Below you will find specific information regarding this transition.

• Brief Overview

Student Expectations

Show Integrity by:

• Checking Google Classroom Daily

• Logging in to the “Live” sessions DAILY

• Finding a quiet space to attend your “live” class

Show Empathy by:

• Being ready to learn and in a quiet space

• Sitting upright and be attentive

• Being prepared to engage in the lesson

• Paying attention to the class and do not be distracted by non-school related activities

• Muting Mic when not talking to avoid feedback

• If your camera works, please have it on

Show Grit by:

• Doing your best to attend all of the Live sessions with the teacher (including small group times).

• If you have to miss a “Live” session, watch the video and complete the assignment

• Completing ALL of the assignments

Important Information

The goal of DCPS is to provide every child with a great education. Student participation is key to a great education. During distance learning, participation is a measure of a student’s engagement in the instructional process. It is NOT a measure of the quality of student work. Students who fail to participate will be considered truant and may not be able to proceed to the next grade level.

Below you will find a video and a slide deck regarding the transition to Distance Learning.

In order to be on the ballot, a parent or guardian may nominate themselves or another parent in writing to me. If you nominate another parent, please make sure the parent is willing to serve. You must have a child who will be attending Audubon during the years of service on the council. Parent members of the council may not be a relative of an employee of Audubon Elementary.

Audubon Elementary School Families -

In the past, some of our families have dropped off children at Audubon Elementary School with the understanding that they would catch the middle/high school bus to go to their own school. Please be aware that we are not able to provide supervision for those students this year.

Only students and staff members of Audubon Elementary School will be allowed to enter our school. We do not have adequate staff to provide supervision for children who are not students at our school and ensure compliance with health and safety guidelines.

Students attending middle or high schools may ride the bus from their home. If for some reason this is not possible, parents may remain ON SITE with the older student in their vehicle until the middle/high school bus arrives. You must be parked in an area that does not interfere with our morning drop-off or bus lanes.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

In the past, some of our families have dropped off children at Audubon Elementary School with the understanding that they would catch the middle/high school bus to go to their own school. Please be aware that we are not able to provide supervision for those students this year.

Only students and staff members of Audubon Elementary School will be allowed to enter our school. We do not have adequate staff to provide supervision for children who are not students at our school and ensure compliance with health and safety guidelines.

Students attending middle or high schools may ride the bus from their home. If for some reason this is not possible, parents may remain ON SITE with the older student in their vehicle until the middle/high school bus arrives. You must be parked in an area that does not interfere with our morning drop-off or bus lanes.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
