This past week has brought an unprecedented shift in how we educate our students. Our district began preparing for the possibility of remote learning at the onset of COVID-19 arriving in the state of New Hampshire. The McKelvie staff will continue to work diligently over this next week, to ensure our kids continue learning.
As the Governor announced today, all schools will remain closed until April 3rd. Our teachers are putting together online lessons and activities that will go out to our students on a daily basis, beginning March 23rd. For students who do not have Chromebooks or computers, we are coming up with a system to ensure everyone has the necessary technology to be able to learn remotely. More information on Chromebooks/technology, will go out later this week.
Key Points:
1. I will be sending emails to families throughout the week, so that parents know what the plan is for remote learning.
2. When remote learning begins next week, teachers will be emailing parents and students on a daily basis, the lessons for the day. More info to come.
3. Unfortunately the Talent Show and Globetrotters Game are both postponed. If/when they are rescheduled, I will let you know. I am working to get refunds for the Globetrotters, in the event they cannot come back to Manchester this school year.
4. If your child left something at school, please email your child's teacher, so we can have it brought down. Call the school before coming in, to make sure the item is ready for pick-up.
As always, please email or call if you have any questions. I hope all of our McKelvie families stay healthy in the coming weeks and wish you all well. I truly cannot wait to see your kids again!
Have a good evening.
