• From Ms. Cicco...

    Posted by Andrew Trbovich on 3/26/2020
    Good Morning!
     
    The healthful living department is very excited to have Joe Pettiford back with us at Durant! We need your help though in welcoming him to our students. Pettiford has been working hard to create his website to welcome his new students and meet them virtually when we track in on April 23. Could you please send the following message out in your newsletters/email blasts to help the students meet Mr. Pettiford and connect with him so they can jump right into learning in April:

    "Attention all students who had Mr. Jones  and Mr. Gold for healthful living this year. You will be able to meet your new healthful living teacher, Mr. Pettiford, virtually when we track in on April 23rd. Mr. Pettiford is excited to return to Durant (he worked here from 2008-2012) and end the school year with you. To help make sure you are ready for learning on April 23rd, please go to Mr. Pettiford's website to access important information in regards to communication and learning. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any healthful living teacher: Trina Cicco-tcicco@wcpss.net; Matt Mauder-mmauder@wcpss.net; Cathy Stone-cstone@wcpss.net."
     
    Thank you so much for your help with this!!
     
    Stay active & well!

    Families, please read below: 

    Spotted Dolphin letter to 7th Grade Families

     

    Spanish Version:

    Hola Estudiantes Spotted Dolphins del 7mo grado y Padres de la Escuela Intermedia Durant Road,

     Su equipo de maestros está trabajando para desarrollar una estructura de aprendizaje en línea para los estudiantes. Para que podamos hacer esto, necesitaremos abrir líneas continuas de comunicación con las familias. Por esta razón, vamos a enviar información a través de 1) Remind, 2) este correo electrónico y 3) nuestras plataformas del aula (classroom platforms), en un esfuerzo por lograr que todas las familias se unan a las estructuras que estamos desarrollando para ser utilizadas.

     Para fines de planificación, por favor trabaje con su estudiante para completar lo antes posible esta encuesta this survey (presione la tecla “Control” y haga clic en el enlace a la misma vez).

    Una vez que obtengamos la información final del condado, nos comunicaremos con usted a través de este correo electrónico y del correo electrónico de WCPSS de su estudiante con nuestros planes más concretos.

     El martes, 31 de marzo a las 10 am será nuestra primera reunión de Google con nuestros estudiantes de homeroom (aula principal). Los estudiantes recibirán una invitación a través de su correo electrónico de WCPSS para participar en la reunión. El objetivo será asegurarse de que todos puedan usar la plataforma, responder cualquier pregunta y compartir los planes de aprendizaje para cuando regresemos de nuestras vacaciones entre ciclos. Nuestro deseo es que, al reunirnos el 31 de marzo, podamos comenzar con la instrucción el primer día de regreso de las vacaciones entre ciclos.

     A continuación, se muestra la captura de pantalla de un ejemplo de Wake Id Portal (Portal de Identificación de Wake). El botón dentro del circulo marcado, es el correo electrónico de WCPSS. Aquí es donde los estudiantes deben buscar el enlace a nuestro primer Google Meet (Reunión en Google).

     Por favor ayúdenos a tener éxito con esta iniciativa, alentando a su estudiante a comenzar a revisar su correo electrónico de WCPSS diariamente. Puede ser lento el primer día o dos a medida que recopilamos respuestas, pero aumentará a medida que pase la semana. Por favor ayúdenos a mejorar todo este proceso proporcionándonos comentarios siempre que sea posible. Estaremos gustosos de ayudar, aclarar o hacer ajustes.

     

    Gracias por su apoyo, paciencia y comentarios.

    Los maestros de Spotted Dolphin: NDooley - Matemáticas, ATrbovich- Estudios Sociales, HSmith – Artes del Lenguaje Inglés, JHagman- Ciencias
