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. Next 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.

This newsletter will be sent each week providing you with updates and resources from our teachers and district. Below, I have included resources from our teachers to help keep your child engaged this week.

Also, a survey link was sent out yesterday by Caddo Schools to help us better understand technology availability at home. If you did not receive it, click HERE to access the link.

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:
For now, if your child has not used Google Classroom yet, getting set up is the first step. All students have been invited to join classrooms so all they have to do now is accept the invitation to join the class. See directions below for two different ways to join. All students MUST use Google Classroom. This is how work will be distributed from teachers. Google Classroom also works on XBOX One and PS4 Consoles.

Thank you Shanita Lewis for this resource.
Feeding Program
Turner is a designated feeding site while we are out of school. Starting Monday, March 16, 2020 , parents will be able to drive up to schools for breakfast and lunch during designated times and bagged meals will be provided for easy pick up. Families will not need to enter the school buildings or even exit the car as part of the site protocols.

Breakfast and lunch will be served from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m . Monday through Friday. During these times, staff will be available to provide bagged meals at the main entrance of the school for a distribution only. Meals may not be consumed on campus.
