I have a few updates to share with you today.
Related to sports and after-school programs, it was previously announced that these are on hold, and we would revisit by January 24. I want to make sure that you keep an eye out for any updates. As a reminder, families are asked to communicate with your towns and transportation companies about any changes. We appreciate your help to make sure students are picked up at the right time after school.
Next Friday, January 28 is the end of the second quarter. It's been a fast school year so far! Teachers are working on finalizing grades, report cards, and progress reports. These will be sent home as soon as possible, hopefully mid-February.
We are still in the process of setting up student and family access for our new database, Skyward. I just had a meeting yesterday about some of these details. We hope to have more information soon about the rollout for family and student access.
The week of January 31, TLC will participate in the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action. Middle school students will run different activities for ECC students, and high school students will run different activities for elementary students. We will share more information and look forward to these activities.
During the month of February, students will participate in MAP testing. We are still finalizing the schedule, and following the teachers will share more information.
Finally, I want to share what current procedures are in place, specifically for the Secondary department, related to COVID safety. These procedures have been in place last week and this week, and will continue until we see a decline in COVID cases.
- Secondary students have assigned seating in classrooms and in the cafeteria;
- Secondary staff and students are encouraged to open windows and maintain social distancing as much as possible;
- Eating in classrooms will ONLY happen when the person eating can be 6 feet away from the other people in the room. When this is not possible, eating should happen outside;
- All field trips and off-campus internships are cancelled;
- No visitors on campus. (This does not include visitors who are providing IEP services, such as TVIs or outside evaluators);
- All after-school activities are cancelled.
Have a wonderful weekend, and please feel free to contact me or your child's following teacher with any questions.
