Welcome to the last week of school! I can't believe that this school year is coming to a close so soon. It has been such a pleasure to work with your children and we are looking forward to when we can see you all again in person.
This week, we will continue to hold our regularly scheduled meetings and classes, except for on Friday, since each class has their last meetings scheduled for that day. Below is this week's schedule.
Also, please note that the distribution of the WIDA ACCESS for ELL 2.0 official score report will be delayed. They will be available and sent home at the beginning of the next school year, early August 2020. Students who score a 5.0 or above have passed the test and exited the MLL program, and they will be monitored for the next 2 years. For those students whose unofficial overall scores are 5.0 and above, I will contact you directly and send you their FEP letter, exiting them from the MLL program. If you are eager to find out your child's "unofficial" scores, please email me directly and I can share those with you. However, it is important that you understand that these scores may change and are NOT official.
Thank you all for your support this year! We are so grateful for you and hope you have a wonderful summer! We pray for your safety and good health and we hope to be able to see you all again soon!

We are moving into our 5th week of Distance Learning! You should have received a message from the MLL team via text messages from the app TalkingPoints which we are using as one of the forms of communication between MLL families and MLL teachers. You should have received the message in your home language. If you haven't already, please send a message back to us using that same text message chain saying whether or not it is okay to continue sending messages that way. We encourage you to download the app on your mobile device if you prefer to receive messages on that instead. If you did not receive a message, you already signed up. If not, please email me to let me know.
We will be opening some new classes next week. Please see the new synchronous class times below. We will be using Google Meets as our platform and will send the links to you via Google Calendar. We will continue our open office hours for grades 3-5 during the week. Please continue to encourage your child to join us so we can support them in what they are doing in their classes. In addition, we will continue our Newcomer MLL class on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please message the MLL teachers via TalkingPoints or email if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!
Thank you for all who have signed up for our TalkingPoints app. We have received some positive feedback that it has been successful in supporting our teacher/family communication because of the app's translation feature. We can now communicate using your home language! If you haven't signed up yet, please do so by following the directions in my email or you can also email me at smuneno@waialae.edu and I will add you manually. After signing up, you will receive messages via text messages, unless you download the TalkingPoints Parents app on your mobile device. We will let you know important info, like if we add or change any of our classes or office hours. Please encourage your child to take advantage of our office hours (gr 3-5) by asking questions or by sharing some of the work he/she has been working on. We would love to touch bases with them and see how we can support them. Have a great week!

It was great seeing some of the MLL faces virtually last week. You should have received some emails last week about a couple of changes we have made. Thank you for being patient while we figure out the best ways to communicate with our MLL families and students. We have switched from using WebEx to using Google Hangouts Meet due to some connection issues that students were facing. Therefore, for our Office Hours, please use the new link in the Google Calendar invite that you would have received (Grades 3-5). We have also switched from using the Remind app to using a new app called TalkingPoints. This app allows families to communicate using their home languages and teachers to send messages in home languages. Please use the instructions in the attachments that were emailed to you to sign up for TalkingPoints. You will be able to send and receive messages via text messages or via their app on your mobile device. Lastly, we are excited to open up two new virtual sessions for our Newcomer MLLs who participate in our MLL Newcomer's program. These sessions will take place on Wed and Thurs from 10:30-11am. You should have received an email and a Google Calendar invite to join these sessions if your child is part of the Newcomer's program. Other than that, please continue to check our MLL website for enrichment activities, updates, and resources. If your child would like to post some of their activities, please have them post them on their classroom platforms (eg. Seesaw or Google Classroom). Ms. Kelly and I check the classroom platforms as well. They can also share them with us during our Office Hours. Please feel free to email us or message us via TalkingPoints if you or your child have any questions or concerns. We hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

Aloha! I hope you had a great first week back to school (virtual). Ms. Kelly and I will open office hours for MLL students (grades 3-5) beginning Monday, April 6. These office hours are optional for students who need support on any enrichment activities or if they just want to talk story with the MLL teachers and MLL classmates in their grade level. We will hold these office hours virtually using Google Meets and I will email parents the link prior to each meeting. If you did not receive an email from me last week, please let me know by emailing me at smuneno@waialae.edu. I will add you to my email list.
