RECENT COMMUNICATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you to all our parents who have picked up the learning packets. While the office is officially closed for the next two weeks, there will be someone in the office on Monday and those who haven’t picked up packets may do so. If a parent has a specific need they can also email the school at
nccs@northcowcreek.org. This email is monitored even with the office is closed.
When might students return? We understand these are interesting times. We have no date for the return of students. While we are hopeful the current shelter in place will be lifted in time for students to return after the spring break the general feeling within Shasta county is that the earliest return date could be May 1. As soon as we know something we’ll let parents know. Our staff are hopeful that students will be back as soon as possible.
What are the plans for instruction as we move forward? Our teachers are meeting for training on Monday in effectively implementing online learning. If we aren’t back after spring break we will be moving to a hybrid (online and paper/pencil) instruction program for students. Teachers will be reaching out to their students and families with more information on what this will look like. This is a new experience for us all, and we ask for your patience and feedback as we learn together. To help us better support our families during this time, you can click here or on the link below to complete a survey we are asking our parents to complete (one submission per family is all that is needed).
Congratulations to our first virtual field trip winners: We’ve had over 50 submissions from students sharing information on their virtual field trip experience. We drew five names of students who submitted what they learned. These students will be receiving a special school prize pack in the mail. We’ll be drawing five more names later this week from students who continue to submit what they’ve learned. Links to the virtual field trips are available on our school website under the STUDENT tab.
What else is happening on campus while students are away? A big thank you to our custodial staff who have been working on deep cleaning our campus while students are away. If you have driven by campus, you will also notice that the K-2 classroom wings are being re-roofed.
Beaver Bash Postponed: The Beaver Bash scheduled for later this month has been postponed until May 9th.
Fundraiser for Holly Flagg’s Son: Kindergarten teacher Holly Flagg’s son, Christopher Flagg, has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia.
