Dear 3rd and 4th Grade Families,
This is a difficult time with so many changes. We want you
to know that we care about your families, and we are in this together. Each
family has heard or will be hearing from a point person from our school. This
person will be available to listen and connect you with resources if needed. Your
point person may not be able to answer all of your questions, but they will be
sure to connect you with others who will.
Over this period of time, Mrs. Rachael and I will be
reaching out mostly via classroom blogs and through email. You can rely on
hearing from both of us on a weekly basis through these methods of
communication. Please make sure you are regularly checking your email and the
blog site. I would recommend bookmarking
this page for easy access in the future. I would also recommend subscribing to
the blog so that you know when new items are posted. Our office hours are weekdays from 8am – 10am. During these
hours you can expect a response from teachers. If you reach out to your teacher
outside of these hours, you can expect a response within the next 24 hours. If
you need immediate assistance, please reach out to us via phone.
Today, your child is receiving their packet for remote
learning. Mrs. Rachael and I have posted a video on the blog about how to
navigate your packet over this next period of time. You can also find a list of
educational resources that are available for free on the blog. If you have not
signed your student up for at home access to Epic, I would encourage you to do
so. You should have received an email from Epic with an invitation to get free at
home access. If you did not, let Ms. Townsend know.
All students are encouraged to keep in touch with their
teachers through email, sharing Google Documents, and by writing handwritten
letters and mailing them to the school. We miss all of you, and we are looking
forward to hearing from you soon!
Best,
Ms. Townsend and Mrs. Rachael
