Miss Widner's News

Greetings SEASCS Families and Staff,

Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and New Year with family and friends. I stayed home and had a quiet holiday and two weeks watching Hallmark Christmas movies! I believe I am good until next October, although they still show them every Thursday and Friday!


We hit the ground running in January with NWEA assessments for grades K-8, followed by Catholic Schools Week at the end of January! You will have more information on this exciting week on how we celebrate being an awesome Catholic school, the Saints, and living the Pioneer spirit in upcoming newsletters!


We have already had one snow day with eLearning. We have put some reminder information in this newsletter about eLearning. Be sure to read that column on snow days and eLearning!


Have a wonderful week and Happy New Year!

Miss Widner

Principal

e-Learning Reminders

 

We have approached that time of year when eLearning or Synchronous Learning may need to be implemented due to inclement weather. Below is a brief overview of eLearning vs. Synchronous Learning. Schools can implement 3 eLearning days per school year. Once the eLearning days have been used, schools must provide Synchronous Learning for the day to be counted as a school day. Please review the document (linked below) so you have an understanding the different types of learning that may be required when weather interferes with in-person learning


eLearning vs. Synchronous 



*IMPORTANT! Please note that when your child(ren) are using your home’s Wi-Fi, Impero will NOT block inappropriate websites! Please be sure to monitor that your child(ren) is not on any sites that could be harmful and are ONLY using school computers to complete eLearning or Synchronous Learning!

THE CONDUCT CODE

 

During our December staff meeting, teachers discussed and collaborated on how we assign conduct grades. Our rubric can be found below. Through our collaboration, we acknowledged that in the past, conduct grades at times have not reflected the student’s performance and effort accurately. For some students this may appear to be a drop to their usual conduct grade. It is a better representation of your child’s classroom conduct. An accurate conduct grade will improve communication as to how your child conducts themselves in the classroom. This improved communication will help school and home support students classroom/school conduct. The teachers will begin assigning more accurate grades this semester. Please reach out to your teacher or me if you have questions. 

 

Blessings,

Mr. Liponoga

Dean of Students
