5.   Please do not use the private chat feature

Distance Learning May 11-15

 

Dear Sixth Grade Families,

 

We hope week 7 of distance learning (Week 8 of the fourth quarter) finds you doing well and feeling successful with what you were able to accomplish last week in our distance learning journey. 

 

 

School Property Drop-off and Personal Belongings Pick-up Week:

 

This week, during the time assigned, please make plans to pick up your student’s personal belongings from school and drop off any school materials (textbooks, library books, musical instruments, etc.) that you have at home.  We will have a process to safely collect these without you getting out of your vehicle. 

 

The scheduled pick up times are Wednesday (5/13) and Thursday (5/14)

 

         May 13th (letters A-L)      7:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.- 7:00 p.m. 

         May 14th (Letters M-Z)    7:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.- 7:00 p.m. 

For more information, please refer to the blog post below: "Important Message from Mrs. Tollefson" posted Thursday, May 7. 

 

Google Meets:  Starting May 11-18 we will be providing opportunities for students to join in a virtual classroom experience where they can interact with other classmates and teachers.  More information regarding this live stream video conferencing will be shared on Monday, May 11th.  Please look for a special Infinite Campus email and Blog message posted here on the Sixth Grade News page regarding this opportunity. 

 

Google Classroom started with packet #6.  Last week, we began using Google Classroom as a method of delivering online enrichment activities and experiences within our Distance Learning Plan. 

 

It is important to remember that Google Classroom DOES NOT replace the assignments found on the Sixth Grade News Page Distance Learning Site: Distance Learning Assignments for May 11-15

 

When students log into Google Classrooms using the Google Classroom Login, they will notice that all classwork experiences offered within the Google Classroom includes weekly enrichment activities.

 

Students will find these enrichment opportunities listed on the Stream Main Communication Page, as well as the Classwork Page.  Once on the Classwork Page, students will notice the topic names and teacher for each subject accordingly:

 

Reading: Mrs. Scott

Math: Ms. Rinne

Sciences: Mrs. Robertson

Specials

Mrs. Aldecoa

 

This is where students can find the OPTIONAL enrichment activities offered through Google Classroom.  These activities will include videos, Flipgrid prompts, and other extension investigations from not only your 6th grade teachers, but also specials teachers, and Mrs. Aldecoa.

  

It is our hope that as students begin to familiarize themselves with Google Classroom, and learn how to navigate the application, that they will enjoy and have fun with these extension enrichment opportunities!

 

Students must have a Virtual Learning Consent Form completed by a parent or guardian to access Google Classroom.

 

You may refer back to the CTA Liberty Google Classroom Letter sent Monday, April 27th for additional instructions on how to access Google Classrooms.  If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please contact your child's first period teacher.  

 

 

It will be very important that students remember to complete the Distance Learning Assignments outlined on the Distance Learning Page of the Liberty Website on the Sixth Grade News Page as they have been doing during distance learning.

Greetings from the CTA Liberty Library!  Next week during the time assigned for you to pick up your student’s personal belongings from school, we will also be collecting any school materials that you have at home including textbooks, library books, and instruments.   We will have a process to safely collect these without you getting out of your vehicle. 

 

 
You should have recieved an email from our library tracking system called Destiny.  This will list the items that are currently checked out to your student.   These are the items that we will be prepared to collect from you.  If your student has a textbook or other item at home and you do not receive an email, please still return the item.  Sometimes, books get mixed up and the wrong one goes home. 

 

PLEASE NOTE: The Glencoe math books will show up on this checked out list.  These books are consumable and are to be kept by your child.  This year's Glencoe math books will be part of the materials given to you when you pick up your student’s personal belongs.  These are checked out to students for inventory purposes only.   The Glencoe math books do not need to be returned. They will appear on your list from Destiny but will be deleted by the system automatically after the school year is over.
