Parents, thank you for your patience in advance with this adjustment to online learning. The district has put together resources for our teachers to assist as we begin this journey together. This week, our teachers are busy this week setting up our virtual classrooms. This week is still dedicated as
Spring Break
. Beginning
March 30th
, teachers will begin posting digital content. Official lessons will begin on
April 3, 2020
. These activities will be posted on Google Classroom. Many teachers have used this platform this year, but some may not have yet. Please see information below in accessing this platform. Teachers will be available each day via email or their preferred contact method, from
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
, excluding Spring Break.
For the next few weeks, take some time to familiarize yourself with the digital platforms. Your child will be the best resource for navigating through the digital content as they are already familiar with those systems. I have provided some resources below and the teachers may provide some practice work while we wait for Online Instruction to officially begin on
April 3, 2020.
Our Administrators and Counselors are available from
8:30 AM - 1:30 PM
daily for your support through email. I am available from
7:30 AM - 3:00 PM
daily through email. If you have any questions or concerns, our emails are listed below:

Thank you for your patience as we prepare devices for your child to borrow if requested. We will distribute technology on
March 30, 31, and April 1
at the school. Due to the rapid spread of the coronovirus, we will distribute devices in three locations of the school based on the last name of the child's name provided. We have pre-assigned and packaged devices based on the information you provided. At this time, we are only distributing one device per household. Please see the instruction below for receiving a device for your child. This is our tentative plan right now. Another Newsletter will be sent out next on Sunday, March 29, 2020. If anything changes with these directives, I will include them in that Newsletter.
If You Requested a Device Through the Survey
If your child's last name begins with letters
A - L
, you will pick your device up at the
Pre-K Turn-Around
on the far right side of the school. If your child's last name begins with the letters
M - Z
, you will pick your device up at the
Band Room Turn-Around
on the far left side of the school. Please stay in your vehicles and we will bring the device to you along with the District Loan Agreement to be signed.
If You Did
NOT
Request a Device But Need to Borrow One
If you did not request to borrow a device and would like to borrow one, please drive your vehicle to the front of the school for assistance. We will have a QR Code for you to scan to access the Technology Survey. This MUST be completed at the time prior to borrowing a device. Once completed, we will begin the process of assigning a device to your child. Please be patient as this process takes time. If you would like to complete the survey now, click

In a statement from Caddo Schools"
“Our district takes the safety of our students and staff seriously and has agreed to only provide food services as long as the safety of participants could be guaranteed. With the growing rate and spread of COVID-19, we must take every precaution to protect our students and staff. Caddo urges all stakeholders to limit outside interactions and to heed the governor’s advisements.”
The district will continue to assess conditions to determine when it is safe to resume food service.
