Fox and Bear Community 

Our study of Asia has begun.  Japan will be our focus for this week.  

Thank you so much for helping us to keep the children engaged this week!  It has been a challenge indeed.  We hope to see everyone return to school on Monday after they receive a negative Covid test result. Please be sure to send a digital copy of your child's test result to Nurse Chris ASAP.  If your child is not returning to school next week please make sure that they join us for meetings at 8:30 and 2:30 each day next week.  Your children can also continue to complete journals and follow up work throughout the week on It's Learning.  

Workplans

The children will be starting the use of workplans next week.  They will begin planning and recording their daily work.  If possible, please send in a clipboard for your child to keep their workplan on.  We do have some spare clipboards if your child is unable to bring one.  

Testing

The children will be completing the AMIRA test and the I-ready assessment over the next couple of weeks.  As always, please make sure that your children are well rested and prepared to do their very best.

Student Learning Device Loan Form and FPP Information​ (This form MUST be filled out by a parent/guardian for EVERY student)- These will be available in your classroom at Open House or you can fill out the digital version at this link​.

Additionally, the district is offering a Family Protection Plan (FPP) for the devices this year for only $25. The FPP will cover accidental damage (not loss or theft) of the device and provide up to TWO replacement devices this school year. Please note that the cost of device repairs (if the FPP is NOT purchased) has increased due to demand for the parts (a Chromebook screen replacement, our most common repair, is now $90!), so we HIGHLY recommend that you purchase the FPP for each student's device.

The FPP can be purchased through School Cash Online​. You will find instructions on how to register for School Cash Online and connect your student(s) to your account here​.
