Announcements:
-We have a slight change in reading group training this year. With the way things have changed, we have decided to record the training for you to watch. Lisa Pain, our reading specialist, has created a training that explains reading groups in detail. She explains what they are, how they work and what to expect when the time comes to start them. You can expect to have this video available to you via Google Classroom on Thursday, August 27th at 8 AM. If interested in volunteering with reading groups, please watch the video and fill out the Google Form, which will also be available in Google Classroom. ***This is ONLY required for those who are wanting to volunteer and help with reading groups in K-2nd grade***THERE WILL BE NO LIVE TRAINING VIA ZOOM ON AUGUST 27TH. Mrs. Pain’s recording will REPLACE the live training.
-As a reminder, if a student's camera is not on, we cannot count them as present for that day. If you scholar is going to be absent from a Zoom session, please alert front office. Students may turn off cameras for leaving to use the restroom or on breaks.
