Happy New Year SMK Students & Families!
We are excited to welcome everyone back and hope
to have a great second half of the year. With the new year and new regulations
set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary
Education (DESE), there will be a slight modification to your child’s
remote-hybrid school days (these are the days that your student is remotely
learning from home).
Currently, each student logs into a live meeting
with their teacher from 9:00-9:30am on their remote learning days. We will be
adding an additional live instructional meeting with your child’s teacher for
30 minutes. This additional meeting will begin on Monday, January 11, 2021.
Students must be present for both live meetings and complete the assigned work
on these days in order to be considered “present” for the school day. If your
child only attends one live meeting, they will be marked “absent”. If there is
a documented reason your child cannot attend- please contact the school and
provide that documentation in order for that meeting to be excused.
Your child’s teacher will reach out this week to
share what time the second live meeting will occur. Thank you for your
continued support. We wish you a happy & healthy New Year!
