How is everyone doing?!? We miss you!
Did anyone enjoy Workout Wednesday today? Tomorrow is Pajama Day! Spend some time with your favorite book. Or maybe, listen to a read aloud. Here is a link to Charolette’s Web, if you want to being a chapter read aloud at your house. Enjoy! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TgsD-xdJdoM&feature=youtu.be
The due date for the Medina FFA Apparel will be postponed. Once school is back in session there will be a new due date. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As always if you have any questions please contact Ms. Vandehoven at jenny.vandehoven@k12.nd.us
Our staff has been working diligently to get materials ready for “learning opportunities” in case we have an extended school closure. Teachers will begin posting activities and materials on their classroom Facebook page, Class Dojo, Google Classroom, or the school’s individual teacher pages. Please check these sites to access the materials and activities. Teachers will also be in contact with students and parents throughout this process.
On Thursday, March 19 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, students and parents will be allowed to enter the school building to get Chromebooks, iPads, textbooks, or personal items. If students and parents are unable to pick up items during these hours, please call the school to make other arrangements.
We are asking parents to contact the school if you DO NOT have access to high-speed internet so that we can work with local providers to ensure everyone has access.
Lastly, if you have any questions, please contact the school. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this together.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
