Start Up Information

Welcome Kinder Students and Parents! 

Welcome to At-Home Learning! I am so excited for the virtual learning journey that you, your child and I will be going on for the upcoming semester. To ensure we have a successful semester of online learning, please ensure that each day your child has:

• Eaten breakfast
• Has a quiet space to work- with a table and chair
• Appropriate clothing (No Pajamas)

From our parents, we are expecting that you will be available to help your child navigate Microsoft Teams video chats, and can facilitate the activities that are being assigned during independent work time.   I will be calling Tuesday and Thursday this week to make sure that all parents have their log in information accurate and to go through a small questionnaire. You should have received an email from the district with your log in information and ASN numbers.  Please check your junk mail in case it was sent there.

You have had a chance to set a lot of this up with your current teacher so as of Monday it will be the same but with me instead!
