Good morning Joshua Circle families. We hope everyone is safe and healthy at home during these unprecedented times. Here at JC we have all been working hard in developing new ways to continue to support your students academically during our campus closure. Our plan for Distance Learning will begin on Monday, April 6th. In order for this to happen, we need to get Chromebooks home with your students. Chromebooks for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade will be distributed in a drive through format during scheduled times by grade level using our school parking lot on Thursday, April 2nd and Friday, April 3rd. Chromebooks only need to be picked up if your student has internet access at home. If you do not have internet access, please contact your child's teacher or the front office to make alternate arrangements for your child's continued learning. We are asking that each parent/guardian display a piece of paper in their windshield with their students’ first and last names as well as the teacher’s name. We also ask that all of our families stay in the vehicle, and unlock the trunk or back of your car, so that a staff member can place your students’ chromebooks and charging cord in the back or trunk of your car. We ask for all of our Joshua Circle parents and families to be patient and kind during this process as we are doing our best to make this a smooth process while also adhering to guidelines to maintain social distance. The schedule for Chromebook distribution will be as follows: Thursday, 4/2/2020 8:00 - 9:30 a.m. Kindergarten and 1st Grade 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. 2nd grade 12:30-2:00 p.m. 3rd grade Friday, 4/3/2020 8:30 -10:00 a.m. 4th grade 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 5th grade 1:00-2:30 p.m. 6th grade If you have students in multiple grade levels, you will be able to pick up all of your students’ Chromebooks during the scheduled time for your youngest student. For example, if you have a 1st, 3rd, and 6th grader, you would pick up all of their Chromebooks during the 1st grade pick up time. It is extremely important that you remain in your vehicle during Chromebook pick up in order to ensure safety for all and to adhere to requirements for social distancing. We appreciate your patience during this process! TK only: Our wonderful TK staff is currently preparing work for distance learning which will begin on Monday, April 6th. Each week, we will be posting work on the playground fence on the northside of our school parking lot. Please come by and pick up a packet during this time. Please call the office if you have any questions from 9:00-11:00 Monday - through Friday. We thank you for your patience and support during this time. Have a wonderful day!
