Dear Archway Arete Families,
I am following up with you to share how the three remote learning days will look at Archway Arete after the Thanksgiving holiday. This proactive measure will help us to ensure the healthiest and safest learning environment for our students. We understand that this situation may come as an inconvenience to your family, but we appreciate your complete cooperation in order to ensure that we can all return to in-person learning for the remainder of the first semester.
As Mr. Twist shared in his communication Wednesday November 18th, that Archway Arete will be closed from Monday November 30 to Wednesday, December 2, 2020. In-person learning will resume on Thursday, December 3, 2020.
This means that all in-person scholars will be remote learning, and all school activities, including athletics and clubs, will be postponed for three days from Monday, November 30 – Wednesday, December 2.
Here at Archway Arete, all students will access their assignments and Zoom links via their Google Classroom/s. Teachers will live stream according to the same schedule we used in August:
- Kindergarten and First: 8:00AM to 10:00AM
- Second and Third: 10:00AM to Noon
- Fourth and Fifth: Noon to 2:00PM
Students must join the live stream in order to be marked present for the day. Students will also have other assignments to complete (e.g., history, science, specials) on their own time throughout the school day. A full list of assignments will be posted on your child(ren)’s Google Classroom/s before Monday, November 30th. In some cases, teachers may be sending home supplies for students to complete their work while away.
If you do not have childcare for your child(ren) on the days that the school is closed, please reach out to the front office for support.
As a reminder, on Thursday, December 3, please DO NOT send your student back to school if:
- Anyone they have been in contact with has tested positive for COVID-19.
- They have been tested for COVID-19 and are waiting for test results.
- Someone in their household has been tested for COVID-19 and is waiting for test results.
- They have any symptoms of COVID-19, which include fever (>100.0°F), cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, sore throat, headache, muscle/body aches, runny nose or congestion, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or a new loss of taste or smell.
- They have traveled internationally and do not have a negative COVID-19 test five days after their return.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Office Manager Melody Pati who can direct you to the appropriate person.
Sincerely,
