PREVIEW OF LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL - WEEK OF MAY 18
REMINDERS
* If you are entering the building to pack students' materials or if you are participating in drop off/pick up, please know a member of the core team (Jenny, Kristi, Libby or Anita) will take your temperature before you enter the building (or before help pass out materials). Staff are welcome to bring their own thermometer, take their temperature and show us their reading. Otherwise we will use GREs, which swipes across your head (it will be wiped with alcohol between uses). Staff that have a temperature will be sent home. Please text Anita (720-217-7790) when you are at the building and one of us will come outside of the building.
* If you are one of the staff members entering the building to pack up students' belongings you must wear a mask and gloves while in the building. Please practice social distancing while in the building. Tape to close your bags is available in the gym. Please make sure students' art work is in their bag before closing it.

READ PLANS
If you haven't done so already please make sure your read plans are updated prior to spring break and that your statement regarding opportunities provided during remote learning was added.
Please email a PDF of students' READ Plans to parents with the statement below by May 15th.
Language for Families Regarding Suspended READ Act Assessments and Plans:
During Spring 2020, students have engaged in a remote learning environment due to COVID 19. Students on READ Plans have been offered remote learning supports to continue their literacy growth. READ Plans were updated and shared with families after the middle of the year checkpoint.
The Colorado Department of Education has suspended formal READ Act assessments and updates to READ Plans for Spring 2020. The READ Plans that were shared with families at the middle of the school year for 2019-2020 will remain in place until Fall 2020. Families will not receive additional updates to READ plans this school year.
