Purpose Corner - I stated last week that I was not going to send out a blog this week, but there are some things I wanted to share with our community, thus the blog post!! Please see my message below as our purpose as a school community is to support our students in difficult times, so please read what we have been experiencing and be sure to join us in reassuring confidence in our students:
Recently we have noticed an increase in students who are overwhelmed. We need all families to know that our students have much to juggle with everything that is being thrown at them and ask that grace is given as they work through face-to-face and virtual formats. Below are some things for students, parents, and families to consider regarding this school year with the purpose that we take into consideration all of these factors when seeing results that may not meet expectations!!!
- This school year has had three completely different schedules (hybrid, 4-day face to face, all virtual) in about 10 weeks! That has never happened before!
- Students experience six to eight different classes and teachers daily!
- If you have spotty wifi, or the district platforms (Infinite Campus, Webex, BB9) are glitchy, your ability to learn is GREATLY impacted!
- You may have been sick with COVID, had a loved one who was sick with COVID, or quarantined due to contact tracing. These things can be unsettling!
- You may have felt scared or sad about the things happening in our world.
- If you want to improve your grade, there is still time! See your teachers for "Just in Time" or make arrangements to meet with teachers during a free period.
