This post is to make students, parents, and guardians aware of a newly adopted board policy that goes into effect today, October 1. The policy was adopted by the board on September 28.
Due to the overwhelming amount of time that is being spent by teachers after regular school hours preparing for lessons both in person and virtually, delivering lessons both in person and virtually and assessing student performance both in person and virtually teachers will not be expected to correspond with students, parents or guardians after 3:30 each day. We understand that while district employees are concerned with the well being of our students, they also have families of their own at home that should not be neglected. Any questions you may have for teachers may still be submitted at your leisure, just be aware to not anticipate getting responses after 3:30 each day. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
Mrs. Layne's third graders are working hard on sorting equal groups with the matching multiplication equation and the matching product.
