We’ve got SPIRIT, yes we do! We’ve got SPIRIT, how ’bout you? Show us your spirit during Paseo Pointe’s first Digital Spirit Week beginning this Monday, March 30th. Take a picture of you participating, post it on the school’s Facebook page, then challenge someone you know to do the same.
Hello Parents,
We are excited to announce that on Friday, March 27th the Paseo Pointe Staff will be participating in a Parade. The Parade will begin at Paseo Pointe at 1:00 and travel through our community then head to the bus zone communities as well. Attached you’ll find a map so you can stand in your driveway or sidewalk as we pass by. To ensure the safety of our staff and students please do not approach cars. We are excited to see as many of our students as possible!
Good Evening families,
This week has been filled with many unexpected things. As your child’s teacher and your partner to support them in anyway possible! I want to remind you that we are available through email or a scheduled phone call.
We really miss not being with our kids and can’t wait to see them again. Unfortunately, we are not sure exactly when that will be. In the meantime we have some things you can do with your child while they are at home. We sent out an email yesterday with many online resources and we will continue to provide you with more. None of the resources that we have or will share with you are mandatory and we will not be taking grades for anything that is done. If you do something and let us know by either email or taking a picture of your child doing an activity when we come back to school they will earn an incentive of their choosing. We would love to hear how all of our kids are doing!
Our goal is to help our families while students are at home. Therefore, we will be sending out resources and activities. We are asking that you communicate with us based on your needs. If you would like more online resources, let us know. We understand that this may be overwhelming so we are trying to scatter our emails, but are more than happy to provide you with more!
Today we would like for students to work on Raz kids for reading in both English and Spanish, Khan academy for math, and they can do activities on abcya for both reading and math. On abcya they can choose Kinder or 1st grade activities.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Rez-Kids (We can help if you need a reminder of login info)
Khan Academy (create a log in)
Here are some fantastic resources in Spanish that you could use at home with your children while our school is temporarily shut down. It is important to all of us that your child continues practicing their academic and language skills. Please use these websites as a starting point. More resources and ideas will be shared with you as we gather them.
As always, please remain vigilant as you allow your children to access these sites to ensure their safety.
Looking forward to having your children back in our classrooms!
Stay safe everyone!
Hello Families:
I am reaching out to all my students and their families to provide some information on what to expect throughout our closure. Schools are expected to be closed through March 27. Please take a moment to read the following information. Please respond that you have read it so I know that it reached you.
Academics and Educational Resources:
Teachers have been working to develop lessons and resources that you can work on at home with your children. In addition to all curriculum materials being available online, we have developed an Online Resources website, where you can find various resources to help your child keep up with academics. This can be found under the “Students” tab on our district website, www.LaveenSchools.org.
Please remember that your child will need to log in to our curriculum platforms in order to access the material. If you do not have your child’s login information, please contact me and I can provide it to you. One single sign-on through Google gives students access to all of our digital curriculum programs Watch this video for details on logging in.
Please be aware that all Laveen schools have strict internet filtering when a student connects from our server. Once you use your personal device, this filter is not available. Please monitor your child’s internet usage as they will be able to explore whatever sites your home computer allows. Be sure to watch this informational video, also on the website, for parents on how to filter home internet, Internet Filters to Keep Kids Safe Online
Internet Connectivity
If you do not have wi-fi or are unable to access the internet at home, Cox Communications is offering one free month of internet access to qualifying low-income families through their Connect2Compete program. T-Mobile is also offering an EmpowerED data plan.
Free Meals for Children
Despite school closures, Laveen schools are providing free breakfast and lunch to all children. Families may visit any Laveen school (except Vista) for a grab & go bag. Breakfast is available from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and lunch is available from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday- Friday.
Children must be present to take a meal. Adult meals are not available. Families do not need to register for meals and there are no income requirements. Children do not need to be Laveen students. The district plans to expand this service to off-site locations in the coming days.
Child Care:
We know that some parents cannot work without childcare. For families needing this service, Laveen’s Kids Club will operate a day camp program that provides structured activities in a safe, supervised environment for children in grades preschool – 6th. This will take place at two locations, Desert Meadows and Paseo Pointe. The cost is $35 a day or $120 per week (preschool is $125 per week). A three-day plan is also available. The hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our Kids Club staff is cognizant of the importance of a clean environment and incorporates cleaning with a bleach solution as part of their regular protocol. Children and staff showing any signs of illness will be sent home. Please visit our Kids Club page for details.
