Bracker
Community! I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well and in good
spirits.
We
have just completed our half of the first quarter of school! Again, I would
like to thank you: parents, students, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysitters,
family friends, Bracker teachers and staff for making this an overall
successful beginning of the year. I know
that is has not been easy, but we did it together!
Announcements/Reminders:
1.
If your child is
absent or late logging on to the “Live” classes, please contact the school
front office at 520.377.2886. This will help eliminate calls to
your home.
2.
This
month, attendance is especially important as we are completing assessment
testing. These are benchmark test given at
the beginning, middle and end of each school year to show growth. This information also helps us decide on
whether your child qualifies for tutoring and/or intervention groups. It is
important that your child complete these test independently. Thank you, in
advance, for your support.
3.
At
this time, there are no “early releases” scheduled at the elementary school
level. Students are expected to attend school five days a week, from 8:30a-2:45p.
4.
Parents!
From 2:30-2:45, “Live” classes concludes with a “Wrap-up.” This is where
teachers review with students the homework, classwork and answer questions. It is important that your child attend this
for it is still part of their school day.
5.
The date to start our
“Specials” classes will be September 21st. Attached, you will find the schedule for our
“Specials” classes. Your student will receive step-by-step instruction on how
to log to these classes once we get closer to our starting time.
6.
Your
child will begin to “see” these classes on their Google Classroom Meets, please
continue to disregard for now, as we are still setting up. The schedule for special classes is attached.
