PLEASE RESPOND via email that you have read this sarellano@laveeneld.org or through Remind  – it is important to know which parents/students are receiving communication and who is not. On Monday 3/23, I will begin calling parents of students that have not completed work on Google Classroom or whose parents have not communicated with us 

   I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy.  Thank you to all of you that have been working on assignments this week.  I know it is a crazy situation and I appreciate all the work and effort you have been putting in.  Thank you to everyone for being so patient and understanding during this time. It has certainly been a lot of learning on my end this week to move to distance learning.  With that being said, I have a few updates and announcements to share regarding our class moving into next week.  

 

I KNOW THIS IS LENGTHY BUT PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE

 

1. Daily Lesson Time:  Beginning Monday, March 23rd, I will have “office hours” daily from 9:00am – 11:00am.  During that time we can communicate through comments on assignments in Google Classroom (Code rthvxg7).  Students can ask questions, we will review assignments, and go through lessons. I will correct work and provide feedback as well.

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.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via email at sarellano@laveeneld.com

or through the REMIND App using the following link and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you
