UPDATED INFORMATION: Salem Elementary Open House
After sending out the Salamander News yesterday, we received feedback from multiple families that the scheduled times for our open house would make it difficult for many working parents to attend. Based on the feedback, we have updated the open-house schedule. We appreciate the lengths that many teachers are going to in order to make the later start work. Also, the originally scheduled AIG session with Mrs. Taranto will be held at a later date.
Date: Thursday, September 17th (same date)
Location: Virtual. Teachers will provide the Google Meet codes for each session ahead of time.
Session #1 Time: 5:00-5:30 (Families can start logging in at 4:45.)
Session #2 Time: 5:30-6:00 (Families can start logging in at 5:25.)
Note: Each session will be the same, but this allows families to attend a session with two different teachers. Please do not enter the second session before 5:25 because you will interrupt the first session.
Focus: Helping students be successful in the remote learning environment
Other considerations: Our teachers face the same childcare challenges as other families. With COVID, some daycares are closing early. Class “office hours” with teachers will be canceled on September 17th to allow teachers to do whatever is necessary to be ready for the open house. As an added bonus, families may have the opportunity to meet staff members’ children during the open house. I know that you will be understanding if any teachers have their children with them when presenting or need to step away from the open house for a moment to look after their children. We appreciate your understanding and grace in these challenging times.
