Dear Sprague,

Hello.  To say it is busy would be an understatement.  However, it is energizing to know there is a light at the end of this tunnel, which is our Sprague kids!

Hybrid/RLS Switches

As we work to finalize cohorts and schedules in both our hybrid learning model and in the Remote Learning School, please note the following updates: 

  • Any final requests to change your child’s initial placement for SY20-21 (hybrid or RLS) need to be received by September 3rd

  • The next opportunity for any changes between hybrid and the RLS will occur the week of October 5th

  • Please note: a family may request to transfer their child from the hybrid to the RLS at any point during the semester 

  • Families should anticipate a 3-4 week transition period before this request can be fully processed and for the transfer to be completed

 

RLS Parents

  • I am most grateful for your patience with the RLS model

  • I recognize these communications are directed to all of Sprague but specific to the hybrid model

  • The district is actively hiring a principal for the RLS

  • Once this is secure, active communication with flow regarding the RLS model

  • If you have a question, you are encouraged to ask!

 

School Supply “Toolkits”

  • Please visit the Sprague website as these grade level lists are posted

  • Please remember that our goal with school supplies this year is to create an individual student “toolkit” as to not share class supplies

SEL Check-Ins with Classroom Teachers

  • Monday, September 14th and Tuesday, September 15th

  • These check-ins will be scheduled by the classroom teacher

  • You will begin hearing from the classroom teacher on approximately September 9th

  • Check-ins will be held remotely

  • Goals and objectives of SEL Check-Ins:

  • 15 minute check-ins

  • Opportunity for teacher to meet student and parent(s)

  • To begin to develop the important teacher/student relationship

  • A starting point to get to know each other as a person

  • Opportunity to welcome both student/family to the new year!

  • Please note these 15-minute check-ins are not an academic conference nor are they to discuss class routines/procedures and/or health and safety measures

  • Classroom teachers are excited!

 

Classroom Materials Pick-Up for Remote Learning

  • Knowing classroom instruction begins remotely (September 16th-September 30th), we recognize the need to provide students with classroom materials

  • Classroom teachers are currently preparing these student materials for pick up

  • I am working on the parent pick up plan/schedule for September 14th and 15th – schedule to follow

  • This classroom materials pick up plan is for all students K-5

  • Students in K-2 will be provided a device but will receive this device on October 1st/2nd through the hybrid model

  • Students in 3-5 will receive a device when school materials are picked up on September 14th/15th

  • If you currently have a school loaner from the spring, we ask that this loaner is returned (grades 3-5) when class materials are picked up and individual device is received

  • (K-2) if you are in need of a loaner device to begin the school year, please contact me

 

September 16th – September 30th

  • All students return to school in a remote setting

September 16th

  • First day of school for all students (RLS students also)

  • ½ day for students

October 1st

  • Hybrid model begins!

  • First day of in-person learning for Cohort A (Mondays/Thursdays)

October 2nd

  • First day of in-person learning for Cohort B (Tuesdays/Fridays)

Thank you for your support and patience!

 

Respectfully,

Leigh
