Box Top Information

Picture
A great way for our school to earn money is through Box Tops for Education.  All you need is your phone! Download the Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then use the app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit our school’s earnings online.  Twice a year, our school’s PTA will receive a check and they can use that money to buy whatever is needed.

Educational Neglect Due to COVID - 19 - Memorandum
 
As a host of questions have been brought forward re:  COVID - 19 and Educational Neglect, please be advised of the following information and share with Educators and support staff.  This memo is an addendum to the current Mandated Reporter Training guidelines.  Thank you.
 
Monitoring Student Engagement in Continued Learning
 
As in-school attendance processes have changed, student engagement remains paramount.  During the COVID - 19 disruption of school, district and school administrators should make sure that regular connections are made with students and families.

Teacher and support staff should connect with all students to maintain their relationship, assist with issues and concerns related to assignments and encourage full participation in continued learning opportunities.
Identify students who are chronically absent pre-COVID - 19 or otherwise identified as requiring additional support and determine if the available pre-COVID - 19 supports can continue virtually.
​
School Administrators and support staff should reach out to students who are not signing into online learning or engaging in other continued learning opportunities.
