Heilicher@Home Shared Journey
A Weekly Message from Yoni
June 4, 2020
Important Upcoming Dates
June 22:
The week of June 22 is our target date for coordinating pickup of your child's belongings from school, and return of students' textbooks, library books, and musical instruments.
July 1:
By this date we will provide our first major update on school planning for next year. The goal will be to provide a clear timeline on that date for when we will roll out the structure for classes and school, as a whole, next year. We will also update you on:
-
Our approach to student services in the coming year; specifically, how we are planning to address students' individual plans and support next year
-
Current CDC and MN Department of Health requirements and recommendations related to schools
-
Up-to-date information on plans to refresh Heilicher@Home and what the likely scenarios are for opening in the fall (i.e. alternating days, full reopening, half-days, or any combination of these)
Shabbat Shalom,
Yoni

June 8-10 Elective Class Registration
Looking for fun ways to engage your students
June 8-10? Heilicher staff, alumni, and clergy in our community have put together "remote" elective classes for students in all grades K-8. RSVPs are encouraged, but not required; drop-ins are welcome. Please note that the target grade level for each elective class reflects age-appropriateness of the activity, but does not restrict students outside of that grade range from participating.
Please use the
Heilicher Elective Synchronous Schedule 6/8/20-6/10/20 for reference next week. Due to recent security/policy changes, Zoom now requires some account holders to have a password for their video meetings. All required passwords and course material lists have been linked to the schedule where applicable. Any missing Zoom links will be added by the end of this week.
View course descriptions and RSVP for desired classes. Please complete a separate form for each child. Any changes in schedule or course materials will be communicated only to families who have RSVP'd. You can resubmit the form at any time to add additional classes to your child's schedule next week.
Please contact
Evelyn Sadlowski with questions regarding the elective class offerings.

We look forward to sharing a full list of elective course offerings and the sign-up form in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

New Virtual Makerspace!
Heilicher's Makerspace has been quiet these last two months, but there has been a lot of STEAM and Maker activity taking place at home. We love seeing your creativity and resourcefulness!
If you haven't had time to try some of the screen-free family activities that have been included in the Homework Documents, this summer is a great time to give them a try. The
new Heilicher Virtual Makerspace
has links to all of the activities, as well as links to numerous virtual field trips, LEGO challenges, magic tricks, STEAM activities, coding, outdoor fun, and more. This site will be updated throughout the summer.
