Earlier this week I released an update on how our grades 7-12 academic program has continued to evolve during the statewide school closure. That update can be found here. This update provides information on our current elementary academic program.
In addition to the resources available on our school website (click here) elementary teachers are checking in with families and students each week by mail, phone, and email. In addition, most teachers have class pages on Facebook where they provide daily videos, resources, and other communications for both parents and students.
Teachers are providing weekly learning packets for students. These are being delivered by our school buses during meal service, are available in the school office, and can also be mailed to homes. If you are not receiving these, please feel free to email your teacher and/or contact the school at 360-875-6041.
Teachers are also monitoring online learning programs available at our website (link above) and are providing guidance and feedback on returned learning packets. They are available each school day via email for assistance, and all of our teachers love hearing from their students!
As I am sure you can imagine, educating elementary students at a distance can be a challenge and can take some getting used to, especially for the younger students. The good thing is that our teachers and principal are dedicated to helping our families and students during these times, and strive to stay connected as much as possible. Parents can help by utilizing the resources teachers are providing, and by maintaining communication with their teacher.
Please be sure to connect with your teacher! If you have questions, you can also reach out to principal Kresta Byington at byington@southbendschools.org and school secretary Tammy McDougall at
