Dear Families,
There is no doubt that we are all entering unfamiliar territory over the next month. We know that all of our families will be in very different situations as we work to follow state and national guidelines to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.
There are two important things that we would like you to remember throughout the next month. The first is that we want to ensure that your child continues to maintain the skills that we have worked so hard to gain over the course of the school year. Because of that, it is important to work together to ensure that your child participates and completes assigned activities over the next month.
The second thing we want you to remember is that we are acutely aware that this may be a very difficult time for our families. Please do not suffer alone. Reach out to us if you are having difficulties that would prohibit your child from completing the assignments.
District teachers are meeting by grade level tomorrow (virtually) to determine the first week's assignments for our students. New assignments will be posted on Wednesday mornings by 8 a.m. and are to be completed by the following Wednesday. Look for new assignments each Wednesday morning.
Please take the next two days to ensure that your child can do the following:
1. Log in to SeeSaw. You will do this through the symbaloo (below) or through SeeSaw.com. Your child MUST choose "log in with Google". The login is the studentnumber@stjoebears.com and your child's password.
2. Access the St. Joseph Public Schools Symbaloo. SJPS Symbaloo
3. Log in to Clever to access Wixie, Lexia, and Moby Max
4. Log in to IXL.com through the symbaloo. It is imperative that after login your child can see his/her name at the top. If not, the login was not successful and your child can do only limited questions. Your child's login for IXL must be the number@sjps or it will not work.
If you have difficulty with ANY of these, please email me, send me a message on SeeSaw, or text. We want all children to be successful so I want to help with any difficulties that you are having. Additionally, if your child does not have a device, please let me know so the district can assist. There is a form that was emailed and should be filled out. I can resend the email if needed.
I am looking forward to partnering with you over the next few weeks. Again, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything.
Sincerely,
3rd Grade Team
