Dear Hillview Community,
Tomorrow begins the second week of our Distance Learning (DL) journey. Time will tell how long it lasts, and we’re glad you’re along for the ride with us. For more details on how our DL program is shifting, see my communication from Friday, March 20
here
. We are all doing the best we can during these challenging times and while we will continue to provide engaging learning, know that grace and flexibility are implied in all our communication. Our DL experience needs to be sustainable, and we want everyone to do what they need to do to take care of themselves and their families. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our teachers or to our team through email
here

Attendance
Parents and guardians must submit attendance for their students. You may report attendance using several methods available on Hillview website
here
.
If you use the SchoolMessenger App, follow these step-by-step directions:
- Select Attendance under the drop down main menu
- Select Report an Absence +, bottom of the screen
- Select your Student’s name
- Using the drop down menu select Multiple Day (instead of logging on each day)
- Using the next drop down menu select Attending School through Distance Learning
- On the next screen, select March 16, 2020 as the first day of absence
- Just below First Day, select March 26, 2020 as the last day of absence
- In the upper right hand corner, press Send
Students must complete the assigned work if marked present. If your student is sick and not able to complete the assigned work, mark your student absent, identify the day as prompted, and use illness as the reason, following the same steps above.

Social Distancing really means Social Distancing
We know that limiting your middle-school student’s interaction with others will be difficult; however, it is medically necessary for them and for the greater community.
COVID-19 may not impact children to the degree it does adults, children are vectors of the disease. Their bodies’ ability to handle the virus better than adults gives the illusion that they are fine, when in actuality they can carry the virus, not even know it, and share it with others. To the extent possible limit unnecessary exposure and interaction.
A great time to craft, hang out with your cat, read a book, talk to friends, jump on a trampoline, play chess...
