Message from Nurse Flaherty:
Welcome to our 2020-21 school year! Making concerted efforts to stay healthy is especially important this year. School physicals, and immunizations are an important part of helping children start the school year healthy and ready to learn. Please read the attached information about school health requirements and provide required documents to me as soon as possible.
Picture Day:
Picture day will occur on September 30th. This is for in-person and AVA Cherokee students.
- In-person students will take pictures with their homerooms
- AVA students will come between 11:00 - 11:45am or 3:15 - 4:00pm
For safety and convenience, our photo days this year will be going paperless. All images will be posted online to view and order within 10 to 15 days after your photo day, and all orders will be delivered straight to your door. If you’d like to be notified when upcoming photos are ready to view, click here!
To place your order after photo day, just go to vipis.com to view and order your photos. For additional options and information email support@vipis.com
Google Slides on iPads
Currently, the iPads have a web link to Google Slides. For optimal performance, the Google Slide app will be best for D67. October 1st is when this change will take place. The weblink will be removed and the Google Slides app will be pushed to all student iPads.
Water Bottles:
Our contractor performed another test of the water systems in our buildings to check chlorine levels. While they found no overall concern with the water system during the second test, as a precaution they are recommending that the water bottle filling stations not be used for one more week.Therefore we are asking that staff and students bring filled, non-aerosol water bottles from home through Friday, October 2. We will also have bottled water on hand during the week for those who need it.
Bus Pass Update:
Due to transportation being extremely complex this school year. We are following strict and safe covid procedures. The district is not selling 10-Pass packs for non-bus riders at the moment until further notice.
Math 3/4 Update:
In the past, we have placed 3rd graders into Math 3/4 before the school year began. Due to the switch to remote learning in the spring, instruction and assessments were both impacted. For this reason, we are waiting to place students into Math 3/4 until after winter break, when we will have more data and a better understanding of students’ skills. In the meantime, the Advanced Learning Specialist who teaches Math 3/4 will flex students on a unit-by-unit basis to provide enrichment.
