Re: Cambria-Friesland Elementary School: Continuity of Learning Plan Updates & School Closure Information
Dear Elementary Hilltopper Parents & Guardians,
This week begins the next steps in the CF Schools Continuity of Learning plans for our students and families online/offsite educational experience. This is an incredibly overwhelming moment for all of us, and we recognize the stress and anxiety you’re currently living through. Further, there is no expectation for our parents to act as surrogate teachers; the job of parenting is hard enough as is. Your support, encouragement, and communication with the school when there’s a problem are what’s needed most for your child at this time. In the next phase of our Continuity of Learning Plan you can expect to hear and see the following:
-
Teachers will be providing each student two free books a month. Books will be arriving sometime in the next couple of weeks via U.S. Postal Mail.
-
Educational Packets: The Early Childhood, Kindergarten, First, and Second grade teachers will be updating learning packets this week. Just a reminder we are not grading work, nor expecting the packets to be returened to school.
-
Bingo Cards: For enrichment and educational purposes the Elementary grades will be playing online Bingo! You’ll find more information and your child’s Bingo card on the school website later this week.
-
Online technology support: If you have any difficulties with your chromebook, Ipad, hotspot, etc., please send an email to: toppertech@cambria-frieslandschools.org. You will have a response within 24 hours.
-
If you’re in need of a wireless hotspot please call: 920-348-5135 ext. 276. More hot spots are expected next week.
-
State Superintendent of Schools, Carolyn Stanford Taylor, sent a letter to all schools that we should expect the school closure to continue beyond April 24th. Our Continuity of Learning platform has been built in a manner that allows learning plans to continue as long as needed.
-
Teacher Office Hours: The Elementary has set-up “Office Hours” throughout the week so students and parents can have support as needed. These office hours will be posted on the school’s web pages. Parents and students can expect a call from our teachers as well as web-based conferencing via Zoom & Google Hangouts.
Stay Safe, Stay Strong, Stay Proud!
