Message from the Principal
Dear MCS Families,
This week I will give you a break from my hobby farm. Except to share these two photos I took on either end of the day Wednesday!
The June 5th date for the close of remote learning is fast approaching. As I mentioned last week, the two weeks following this date will be used for planning. This planning will have the following purposes…
-
Identify what standards were not able to be taught through the remote learning platform. Determine which of these standards are essential for success in the coming school year. And make a play for incorporating this learning into the program for next school year.
-
Make a plan for remote learning, in the likely event that we will be required to start the year with remote learning. Now that we know more about remote learning, we can improve our approach. We will also need to develop a plan that is designed for acquisition of new skills, with assessment of student understanding.
To do this work, we need your help. Each family has direct experience with how remote learning has worked this year. In order to better improve our model to meet the needs of the families we serve, your input is requested. Please take a few moments to complete this remote learning survey. Your feedback will help us develop a plan that works for everyone.
Parent Nights
This coming week Nurse Pam, Katie, Mr. Bagnato, and Mr. Gonyaw will host the K-3 parent check in via Zoom. Please consider joining to share your thoughts, ask any questions, or just say hello! We have noticed that as the weather improves, the number of participants have dropped. I guess we are not as popular as sunshine and green grass. :-)
