03 - March 29, 2020
After 10 days of hard work, and thanks to the generosity of our CNG community and the support of the PTA and the FHNG Board, on Saturday March 28, 388 grocery baskets were delivered to each of the Fundacion Hogar Nueva Granada families.
It was a VERY EXCITING day! The families expressed infinite gratitude and arrived prepared to carry their groceries home on their shoulders.   see photos

THANK YOU CNG FAMILIES❣️❣️❣️
One more reason to feel proud of our wonderful CNG community.

Dear Parents:

As you heard on Friday, we have reviewed survey and observational data over the past nine days of Distance Learning. As a result, we will be shifting on Monday, March 30 to a newly revised Synchronous Schedule . We have added 30 minutes of synchronous time at PS and ES as well as shifted all MS/HS classes up one hour (beginning at 10:00 AM) to allow for two classes before lunch and two classes after lunch. We believe this will help us to better meet some emerging needs in our community next week.

 
We look forward to hearing about your successes as parents of learners in a virtual world.

HS High School

From the Principal’s Desk

With two weeks behind us of Distance Learning, I think everyone is starting to feel like they are in somewhat of a routine and it feels better. One of our big areas of focus at this time is to help everyone feel like this Distance Learning model is sustainable. 

MS Middle School

I t was another great week in MS Distance Learning. I want to commend our parents for supporting the online environment. In talking with parents, some have never thought being a teacher would be something that they would be required to do. You are doing great! Keep it up!  

ES Elementary School

 Dear ES Families,
Thank you for your support during this second full week of distance learning. There is a new and unique sense of CNG community. I need to share that what I miss the most is the pure joy of talking with our students every day! Ms. Tanya and I will be dropping in on classes much more as we go into week 3. We can't wait to see them again.
Thank you for your Partnership!
PS Primary School

First and foremost we have to say thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for being a great team in navigating these uncertain waters. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We all know it hasn't been easy for any of us, but we will continue to support each other on this journey.

 Learning Center

Dear Parents,

We got off to a great first week of distance interventions. We appreciate everything you have done to help find time in the schedule for your children to continue with the individualized interventions they need. We will continue to monitor and make any necessary adjustments.
We want to send you all some tips that may help your children during distance learning

TIPS FOR PARENTS

1.Encourage students to do movement breaks.  Video
2. Allow children to work standing up, on their bellies or sit on their knees.
3. Write assignments on post-it's or wall so they can visually see what tasks are pending.
4. Ask your teacher if some responses can be recorded or taped if writing will not be assessed.
5. If your child needs more time, ask the teacher.
6.Teach children to break assignments into steps and create a checklist.
7.Encourage the use of visual timers or clocks to help them use time better
8.Check in with your children often to help them use their time better. 


Counselors

Dear Parents, 

We have had a great first week starting distance learning. Students have done a wonderful job learning and adjusting to the systems and requirements of their classes. We now need to look to sustaining the momentum we have created. 

The counseling team is here to support you during this distance learning time. We will be presenting ways to succeed in a distance learning environment for each division PS, ES, MS, and HS next week. We ask that you please sit and watch this 10 - minute Video with the comfort of a warm beverage or moment of pause for you. It has practical suggestions and advice to help parents navigate these new challenges!
