Aquila families,
This entire message will be on the district website which allows you to translate the message in 15 languages.
As many of you know, Governor Walz has ordered the closing of schools throughout the state by Wednesday. This Monday, we will continue school as usual. Monday will be designed to help all students learn how to enrich their distance learning experience while they are away from school and help ensure connectivity to their teachers and classmates even while we are urged to be in isolation.
In addition to physical materials (like books and handouts), our staff will be using digital tools you may be familiar with at each grade level -- whether it be Google, Gmail, Schoology, SeeSaw or Remind, to name a few. A combination of digital and paper resources will be used appropriately as we think about keeping students engaged and learning.
·
Students in
grades 3-8
will have access to digital devices and have access to a variety of learning experiences both digital and non-digital from their teachers on a regular basis
·
Students in
grades K-2
will engage in learning experience plans that may be accessed online, but don't require a digital device to complete.
Our primary goal on Monday is to ensure students have the necessary supplies and materials to engage in high-quality learning during the closure and have a final connection with their teachers and peers before we move to distance learning.
Please know that our staff will be working hard to ensure that students get what they need. You can help us by filling out a
GOOGLE FORM
in our email message to ensure your child is well equipped with the tools they need for success.
We are committed to energizing and enhancing the spirit of our students through this unprecedented time.
Thank you,
Shelley Nielsen
Aquila Principal
