Distance Learning Week Schedules: November 9-13
As a reminder, please review the Distance Learning Week schedules for each grade level. The attachment is a single spreadsheet with three tabs along the bottom: for grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Note that these are "live" documents and will be updated as schedules adjust. Therefore, we encourage you to check your children's Distance Learning Week schedules daily for any changes.
Please note that most of the classes do not have Zoom links embedded, with the exception of school-wide programs. The class- or grade-specific Zoom links will be made available to parents via Seesaw for grades K-2. For grades 3-8, your child should receive Zoom invites via Google calendar invites from their teachers so that the appointments appear on their personal Google calendars.

IMPORTANT! Upcoming Calendar Changes
We have made a few changes to the Heilicher school schedule between now and the end of the 2020 calendar year.
First, there will be NO SCHOOL the full week of Thanksgiving. Monday and Tuesday, November 23 and 24, had previously been scheduled as in-school learning days.
Second, the week of December 7-11 will now be an in-person learning week. That week had previously been designated for all-school distance learning.
We have made these updates on the school calendar, as well. Thank you for your flexibility.

Recommendations from the Heilicher Health and Safety Committee
The Heilicher Health and Safety Committee recommends that all students, families, teachers and staff get the flu vaccine.
Covid-19 is not the same as Influenza. Symptoms are similar but there is a way to prevent and treat influenza. Get vaccinated, wash your hands, wear a mask and social distance. Flu is treatable with antiviral medications.

Important Reminders
Daily Home Wellness Checks are REQUIRED. It is critical that all families fill out the Home Wellness Check for each of their children in Sycamore before coming to school each day. This check asks about many possible symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to fever. To ensure the health and safety of our community, we need 100% participation in completing this form reliably each morning.
absences, late arrivals, and other student-related updates.
