Today's Updates

Remote Learning
Saw this on Facebook this morning and it made me smile, and I thought it might make  you smile, too...

While I thought teaching at school was hard, this whole "teaching my own kids" is really tough! THANKS TO OUR FAMILIES AND STAFF for jumping into this and staying with it. Now more than ever...we're in this TOGETHER! 

Census Reminder
Completing the 2020 Census is SUPER important...especially now. 

Here's info on the Census, and a flyer about it is attached to today's email, too. 

If you have not done so already, we would like to encourage you to complete your 2020 Census online at www.my2020census.gov or by phone at 1-844-330-2020.

You must have your Census ID, which was mailed to each household by the U.S. Census Bureau. If you prefer to complete a paper Census, they will be mailed out by mid-April to those who have not yet responded. 

The 2020 Census aims to count every individual in the United States, and that includes children. The data collected impacts many aspects of your community, including programs and services that are critical for schools, students, and younger children, such as:

*Special education, Head Start, after-school programs and classroom technology.
*Food assistance, including free and reduced-price school lunches.
*Maternal and child health programs.

Please complete your 2020 Census and help make sure our school district continues to receive adequate federal funding that will help our students grow and thrive. 

Remember that if you are filling out the census for your home, you should count everyone who is living there as of April 1, 2020. That includes anyone who is living and sleeping there most of the time — that could include grandchildren, nieces, nephews and the children of friends.

Thank you for your support!



This Week's Spirit Week
Look at these colorful and creative lunches from Make It Monday...
  
    
  
 
   

Here are this week's Spirit Days!!!!

Can't wait to see those vehicles on Transportation Tuesday!

Please share pictures with your child's teacher(s) and me! 
Thanks to Mrs. Lorenz at Lotus for putting this together. We'll be doing Spirit Weeks every week until we are all back together!!!! 


Ongoing Updates
GRAB AND GO
We are now doing Grab and Go on Monday and Thursday mornings ONLY from 7:30-10:00 at Stanton. You can grab "3 for Me" and everything else you need but we also limit how many staff members need to come in and how often we are asking families to come to school. You can still get Chromebooks, school supplies, books, and more. Social distancing is KEY to us getting back to normal! 

It is our goal that EVERY student have access to a device and the Internet so they can engage in learning. We know it's hard if there's only one device in your home, so if you need to borrow so everyone can work, please come by Grab and Go on Mondays or Thursdays--we'll have Chromebooks to loan!
