Weekend Update April 3, 2020

Virtual P2 Assembly:

This week would have been our P2 Assembly focused on Social Intelligence in honor of World Autism Awareness Day which was yesterday, April 2nd.  To prepare, students were going to watch this video before the assembly (Please have your child check it out here).  P2 Assemblies are my favorite part of school! We all wear our matching P2 shirts and we open with a song, This Little Light of Mine.  Then, we have a special presentation related to one of the traits of the month.  Since we can't gather together the teachers have put together a video for you and we have included a short video on Austim in place of our guest speaker.  We hope you enjoy our virtual P2 Assembly!

Spring Break:

As you are aware, Governor Cuomo issued a new Executive Order which states that school districts must continue plans for alternative instructional options (as well as, distributions of food) and "continue to first use any vacation or snow days remaining." This means for all of us that we will no longer have Spring Break which was scheduled for next week.  We will continue to provide remote instruction for all students.

I'm sure this news will bring mixed emotions for many of you; some families will likely be happy that an instructional plan will be provided for their children to keep them productive and engaged while others were likely looking forward to the break. It looks like we will all just need to continue to be flexible during these uncertain times!

Beginning next week your child will be directed to visit their teacher's Google Classroom for literacy and math activities; all other activities will be linked to the document on the portal. If you have any questions please contact your teacher directly, email me (asimmons@westgenesee.org), or call the office and leave a voicemail that will be automatically forwarded to me (315-487-4633).
