Latest Update: Thursday, 3/26/20

Good Afternoon,

We have almost completed our second full week of remote learning. I’m proud of everyone’s involvement and engagement to make things run efficiently and effectively.  I know that we still have more work to do to improve our systems, but we will continue take the necessary steps forward to make those improvements. Please be reminded that tomorrow there will be no new lessons or activities posted – only the Question of the Day. Remind your children to go into each of their classes and complete those questions. Additionally, I have asked teachers, who feel ready, to host live sessions so students can ask questions in real time as well as get assistance as needed. Encourage your children to go onto those live sessions if their teacher has indicated a time that they will be available.

To reiterate from yesterday’s update, if you need to come to the building to pick up a Chromebook or other materials, you must make an appointment first. Appointments will be scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Appointments can be made by contacting the following office staff members:

*Please note tomorrow I will not be sending a daily update, however, I will continue sending updates next week.*

Have a great weekend!

Best regards,

Matthew Laskowski

Drop off your items to Rippowam's textile bins - 2 bins in front and 2 bins in the back of school by Loveland Road. The two front bins were moved over to the parking lot side to make drop off more convenient.
