Magee Weekly News - Sept 11, 2020

September 11, 2020

We have had a great week of both face to face and virtual learning for our learners! We are working through new procedures and practices at school as well as buiding community in our classrooms. The positive vibes at school and the excitement in the voices of learners and staff is evident throughout the building and outside!

Please note that students will be outside throughout the day...even if it is misting! Please be sure students are dressed and ready for whatever weather Wisconsin has in store for us! Rumor has it there will be more sun next week but...

Thank you for your patience with our new drop off and pick up routines. As we work to make these times both safe and efficient for both families and traffic on Hwy. 83, we have made some tweaks this week that have made the process work smoothly.

Please drive SLOWLY anytime in parking lot, especially around corners.

Distance Learning

Distance/Virtual Meetings

Kettle Moraine students and teaches are using Google Meet for distance learning. These meetings are accessed using an invitation created by the teacher. Students access the meeting link via a learning platform or a calendar invitation. It is expected that only students in the class are part of these meetings. It is not acceptable to share the link with a non-student. This would be similar to inviting a stranger into our classrooms. Thank you for reinforcing this safety practice with your learner.

Specials News: Our learners have gotten into the swing of specials (music, art and PE) this year! We know they will be moving with Mr. Staver for sure! (Thank you to the guest bulletin board creators!!) Miss Cressey has taken advantage of our outdoor space and our "hills are alive, with the sound of music!"

PTO Welcome

Effortless Fundraising

The Magee PTO has started a Kindness Rock Project. They will be creating and hiding rocks for families to hunt for. Look for them on Facebook at Magee Kindness Rocks. When families find them, there is a bin outside of the school office for students to bring them in. The rocks will be used to line the paths in the Butterfly Garden. What a great way to spread kindness and beautify our butterfly garden! Happy Hunting!
