Dear AJM Hawks Parents,

I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well and in good spirits.  As you already know, we made the decision to discontinue the hybrid model and have all students return to the online model only.  Our district administration’s proactive approach makes it safer for us all to eventually come back together in person. All decisions are based on the local data, and by consulting with local medical health professionals.

Here are a couple of announcements’ reminders about our online model. 

1. The schedule will remain the same.On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, the school day is from 7:45-2:45. On Wednesdays, the school day with the teacher is from 7:45-11:30.Students have independent work time 11:30-2:45.
2. Students must be logged in to their Google Classroom all day in order to receive attendance credit for a full day of school. This means that students must return to their classroom teacher after Specials, Interventions and all activities (lunch, recess, etc.), to get counted as, “present.” 
3. Special classes and Interventions are part of your child’s school day. Please help to ensure that they attend all of the classes and return to their regular class on time.
4. Computer cameras must remain “on” during class times, expect for times the teachers tells them to turn the cameras off.We ask for the cameras to be turned on to make sure students are participating in the lesson.
5. We understand that this new school day can be long. Please know that we will do our best to make the day as enjoyable as possible. 
6. The Wednesday schedule remains the same.
7. Tutoring groups continue on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 7:00-7:45am.

We want all of our Hawks to SOAR! That's why teachers are always looking for the best ways to teach online. Education is a team effort.  Students need to do their part by attending class online and completing assignments. Students who are in class all day and do their assignments are learning and growing. Students who are not attending class or doing their assignment are not learning and are on the path to falling behind. WE DON'T WANT THAT!

Look at the tab “For Parents” on this webpage to find a link to the videos from our parent workshop on all of our online programs.  These include: Google Classroom, Odysseyware, Imagine Learning, Imagine Math and tips on make your home a good learning environment for your Hawk. 

Please reach out to your child's teacher or me if you need assistance in helping your child SOAR this school year. 

Stay safe and healthy,

Michelle Shuman, Principal

Ever wonder why we have parent conferences?  Does it matter if you attend?  How will it help your AJM Hawk do better?  Check out this webpage for a great explanation of why conferences are important and how you can make the conference the best for you and your child.  They even have the page translated if you want to read it in Spanish.

Help us make dismissal go smoothly with these procedures:

• If you need to make a transportation change, please do so before 12:30pm.  This way we can be sure your child's teacher knows about the change.
• If you need to pick your child up early, come before 2:30pm.  The end of the day is always busy and hard for students to leave the class after 2:30pm. 
• Make sure anyone who comes to pick up your child has the red authorization card and knows these procedures. 

Ayúdenos a que el despido sea sin problemas con estos procedimientos:

• Si necesita hacer un cambio de transporte, hágalo antes de las 12:30 pm. De esta manera podemos asegurarnos de que el maestro de su hijo sepa sobre el cambio.
• Si necesita recoger a su hijo temprano, venga antes de las 2:30 pm. El final del día siempre está ocupado y es difícil para los estudiantes salir de la clase después de las 2:30 pm.
• Asegúrese de que toda persona que venga a recoger a su hijo tenga la tarjeta de autorización roja y conozca estos procedimientos.
