Dear Families,

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year.  This letter contains important information needed for your child to participate in distance learning.   

Distance Learning & Seesaw

Seesaw is the digital platform we will be using this year for distance learning.  All of your child’s lessons and work assignments will be posted to this application.  Zoom links will also be posted on Seesaw.  This application has already been bookmarked on your child’s device for easy access.

Workbooks and Supplies

I am sending home the workbooks your child will be using this year, in addition to the supplies they will need to successfully complete their work. Please find a basket, or a bin, for these at home.  This will help your child to stay organized.  You are responsible for purchasing any replacement workbooks. 

Attendance

Attendance will be based on your child’s daily completion of online assignments. Please see the attendance policy that is included in this binder.

Blended Learning

Should we return to blended learning, it is very important that your child bring their computer, Home-to-School Binder, and Resource tablet with them on each day they are in school. Please make sure their computer has been charged.

Communication

I will be sending you the link needed to use the Remind: School Communication app.  I’ll be using this app to send out information and reminders.  You can also use the app to communicate with me directly.  

Please be prepared for things to change, or be modified as we get into a completely new routine of school.  Feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns. You can call me at 974-4111, or use the Remind app. I appreciate your patience as we journey forward together.

Mahalo,

Leah Macleod
