A message from the School Counselor,

Mrs. McCarty

I am also a parent of tweens/teens and so I am navigating my children's digital use just like you. From time to time, I will share helpful information that I hope you will find useful. 

First, please see the video below from Common Sense Media titled Parenting In A Digital Age. Also attached are some family tech planners (one for age 9-11 and one for teens) that are mentioned in the video. 

Best,

Sarah McCarty

7:50 - 8:00 am- Students will check in with their homeroom teacher via google meets for attendance and to review the schedule for the day.

Teachers will post the schedule on Google classroom so students and families can easily access it and so students know how to access their Google Meets.

*From 8 am - 12:30 pm synchronous instruction (live instruction) will be delivered to students through google meets.  Teachers will provide instruction, opportunities for questions and assignments for students to work on asynchronously throughout the afternoon.  

Students will have access to their co-curricular classes via live instruction during one of the scheduled blocks. 

As the weather is getting colder please be sure students wear their coats, hats, gloves, etc for outdoor recess. We will be going outside as much as possible for students to get fresh air and to play.

Students should bring water bottles to school everyday.  Please be sure that the water bottles  seal tightly to avoid spills in the classroom.  Students may only have water in the classroom, other drinks like juice or gatorade will need to remain in their locker until lunch.  Thank you for your help with this!

Chartwells' "Snack Shack" is open. During lunch students will have the opportunity to purchase snacks like chips, drinks and rice crispy treats, etc. Please note, students must have money in their schoolbucks account or money to purchase items, snacks range from $1.25 to $1.75. Classes will have certain days they are able to purchase snacks due to the amount of time available for lunches. Please remind your students that they must be able to finish their snacks/drinks before they go out to recess, they will not be able to leave the cafeteria with them. Please see the schedule below.
