Sept. 13th - 18th

- All students in grades K-5 need to ensure that the iReady diagnostics in both Reading and Math are completed by the end of the day on Monday.  This is the last day of the testing window. It is very important that you do not help your child with this assessment.  This diagnostic will not count as a grade, but will help your child's teacher know what specific skill areas they need to focus on during their small group google meets. Again, we ask that you please allow your child to complete this independently to ensure they are not given skills that will be too difficult for them.
- All assignments for this week have been posted in your child's google classroom. Per district requirements, all assignments will post on the Friday afternoon prior to the week's assignments.  All of this week's assignments will be due by midnight on September 20th. Please remember that if your child received a zero for any previous work that was not done, any make-up work needs to be submitted by 3:00 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd. 
- This week, we will open our multipurpose room from 4pm to 6:30pm on Tuesday for families that do not have internet access at home or families that need technical support. If you would like to come out on Tuesday, please call the office no later than 3pm on Monday to schedule an appointment.  If you would like to come on Thursday between 4 and 6:30, please schedule your appointment by 3pm on Wednesday.  You must have a scheduled appointment, as we do have limited space available. To enter, you will be asked the screening questions and have your temperature taken. We will adhere to social distancing guidelines at all times.  We ask that no more than 3 people per family attend.  Please note that this is time to get technical assistance, download materials, upload materials, or work on iReady.  We are unable to provide any direct instruction or curriculum assistance at this time.  
-  Martin County school continues to provide no cost breakfast and lunch to any child under the age of 18.  You may pick-up lunch and breakfast for the next day between 11 and 12:30 pm.

- Please remind your child to adhere to the following guidelines when they are participating in a google meet:
   - Students must be fully dressed
   -Please mute your microphone when you enter the google meet
  - Please try to limit distractions around you
- Please do not hesitate to contact the school or your child's teacher if you have questions or concerns.  Our staff does work from school each day.  Our office hours are Monday - Friday from 8am to 4pm.   

-Lastly, just as a reminder, it is very important that students watch the posted instructional videos, complete their assignments in the correct order, and participate in live google meets with the teacher as much as possible.  Unlike the spring, grades are being recorded for assignments and completion of assignments is being used to determine attendance in the virtual classrooms.
