Good Evening, Stoneridge!
I shared the parent blog with you because I wanted you to know what I am sharing with parents.
I am going to share some of the big points with you in this blog.
Schedule Change:
The parents know this change is coming and have been instructed to wait for information from their teacher about what that will look like. You can share your new schedule whenever you want, just also share that it will not officially start until Tuesday, September 8.
This was shared with parents:
Important Request: We understand that participating in distance learning is very different and sometimes difficult. There is one important way we need your support. When the students are taking assessments either with their teacher, or on programs like iReady, it is super important you are not helping them. The goal of these assessments is to gauge exactly where the students are academically so we can support them in the specific ways they need. If we have inaccurate readings, the students will not be appropriately supported. An example of this might be a 4th grade student taking the iReady assessment while getting help from their parent. In the end, the student scores at the 7th grade level even though he is actually at a 4th grade level. What that means is the iReady lessons assigned to that child will be at the 7th grade level, high above the student's ability. That student is likely to feel defeated and not want to keep working. We are not saying, don't help. We are asking that you leave the room if you child is doing a one on one assessment with their teacher and to ask what a child is working on when they ask for help. This will help us support your children. As always, thank you!
PTC: Our new PTC board is awesome! They are so excited to get started. We have not had any official meetings yet, we are just trying to create a plan moving forward. Please share anyways you think PTC can help you and get our community together. We are already working on some fun things, but please share ideas with me.
Upcoming Events:
Wednesday, 9/2 @ 3:15pm- Staff Meeting ZOOM Link (If it does not work, it is in the calendar)
I think that is all I have for now! Have a great week!
