Every Wednesday, starting April 8, standard lessons will be suspended. We encourage families to help their elementary students catch up on work or look into offerings by our specials teachers like PE, Art and Music. Check out NewBrook Elementary's Wednesday Rocks! agenda.
Today marks our FIRST ever "Wednesdays Rock!" Specials Take-Over Day. We know you are all working hard with your families at home to stay on track and continue your learning and we think you all deserve a day (each week) to reset, change things up and let your awesome specials teachers run the show!
If you go to the online learning portal you will see a box that says "You are going to LOVE Wednesdays" that is your ticket into the Wednesdays Rock! page that will host ALL of your learning options for the day...
You could listen to a LIVE read-aloud with Ms. Chevalier at 9:30am.
You could Zoom to a video hangout with Ms. Hannah at 9:00am.
You could choose a new art project on Ms. Suzanne's page.
You could take one of Ms. Costa's physical challenges and get your body moving!
You could following a guided meditation with Ms. Susan
You could sing along with Ms. Ullman's videos
You could practice your instrument with Mr. McKinney (grades 4-5)
You might want to try them all...but each Wednesday you only need to choose 2.
At the end of the day- at the top of the Wednesdays Rock! page you will see a button that says "TODAY I CHOSE." You need to click that button and then you can check the boxes of all the learning activities you did that day. This will be how we take 'attendance' so is VERY important. Don't forget that part!
We look forward to ALL that we can do together on Wednesdays!

Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott today announced the Vermont Department of Public Service has released an interactive Public Wi-Fi Hot Spot Map to help Vermonters connect to publicly available internet service during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Internet connectivity is an important resource for Vermonters during this crisis, which is keeping us physically distanced from one another,” said Governor Phil Scott. “As we’re asking many to work and learn remotely, these public Wi-Fi points are especially critical to keeping workers and students connected if they do not have access at home.”
The map includes the location of the Wi-Fi hot spots and pertinent information about how to access them, including places where users can access Wi-Fi from outside the building or in a parked vehicle to encourage social distancing.
The Department received assistance from libraries, schools and municipal governments in creating the map, as well as support from the Agency of Digital Services, the Department of Libraries, the Agency of Commerce & Community Development, the Agency of Education, the Vermont Center for Geographic Information and the Department of Health.
“I extend my sincere gratitude to these organizations for their assistance, without which the Department would have been unable to put together this map,” said Public Service Commissioner June Tierney.
The map can be found at https://publicservice.vermont.gov/announcements/public-wifi-hotspots-ver....
Additional connectivity resources can be found at publicservice.vermont.gov/content/new-connectivity-resources-support-you-during-covid-19-state-emergency-vermont.
The map will be updated as new information becomes available. Vermonters are encouraged to send information about Wi-Fi hot spots to psd.telecom@vermont.gov.
