Parent Letter

Dear Kinzie Parents,

I wanted to remind you of a few key points found in the Final Remote Learning Document I emailed to all parents on August 19. Here is a link to the document:

https://t.e2ma.net/click/91w2bn/5miuij/lrkj0df

I wanted remind all parents that all classes will be virtual during the first quarter. There are several differences this year in Remote Learning:

1. Attendance will be taken daily and students must be present in ALL of their classes during the school day.
2. Students will be online and in class from 7:30 am-2:30pm as if they were present in their class in person.
3. Grades will be given as before. Everything assigned will be graded and counted for promotion to the next grade level and graduation requirements will be followed.
4. There is no option for paper packets. ALL classes will be virtual.
5. Attendance to virtual classes is required, not optional.

I know that in the spring it was difficult for some students to participate. This year they need to be connected to all of their classes on time and be actively involved throughout the school day.

I have attached a more detailed power point for you to read and keep as a reference. Please read it carefully and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for all your help and support as we continue on this journey together.

Estimados padres de Kinzie,

Quiero recordarles de algunos puntos clave que se encuentran en el Documento Final de Aprendizaje Remoto que les mande a todos los padres el 19 de agosto. Aquí hay un enlace al documento:

https://t.e2ma.net/click/91w2bn/5miuij/lrkj0df

Les quiero recordar a todos los padres que todas las clases serán virtuales durante el primer cuatrimestre. Hay varias diferencias este año en el Aprendizaje Remoto:

1. La asistencia se tomará diariamente y los estudiantes deben estar presentes en TODAS sus clases durante el día escolar.
2. Los estudiantes estarán en línea y en clase de 7:30 am-2:30pm como si estuvieran presentes en la escuela en su clase en persona.
3. Las calificaciones se darán como antes. Todo lo asignado será calificado y contado para la promoción al siguiente grado y se seguirán los requisitos de graduación.
4. No hay opción para paquetes imprimidos de papel. TODAS las clases serán virtuales.
5. Se requiere asistencia a clases virtuales, no es opcional.

Sé que en la primavera fue difícil para algunos estudiantes participar. Este año deben estar conectados a todas sus clases a tiempo y participar activamente durante todo el día escolar.
He adjuntado un power point más detallado para que usted pueda leerlo y mantenerlo como referencia. Favor de leerlo atentamente y póngase en contacto conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud.

Gracias por toda su ayuda y apoyo mientras continuamos en este viaje juntos.
