Thank you to the students, teachers, staff, and families for your support and engagement as we adjusted back to the hybrid model this week. It has been great to see D’Evelyn students back in the building and beginning to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities again. The first week back in the hybrid model has been a great success in many ways. I hope that the adjustment required in the return to hybrid learning went well, and I am hopeful that as we proceed in this model, the opportunities for in-person connection between students and their teachers and peers will yield more positive experiences this school year. Additionally, I am grateful to all of our community members for your continued vigilance in honoring health and safety guidelines, as we all do our part to minimize the spread of Covid-19 in our community. As has been well-established in previous communication, we adjusted our hybrid schedule for the 2nd semester in an effort to best support our students and teachers. At the core of the adjustment, we have provided hybrid students the option to participate in 7th hour either from home or in school. The purpose of this specific shift was to provide students the opportunity to make thoughtful choices with their families about how they can best use 7th hour time each day. During 7th hour, we expect that students will remain productive, regardless of their location, by taking the time to study, complete homework, and seek additional help/support from teachers. Please encourage your student to maximize their time during 7th hour, as we expect the extended time period will give students a great opportunity to complete a significant amount of their daily work while getting additional support when needed. Accountability Committee Survey Reminder: For those parents/families that have not done so already, please take the opportunity to complete the D’Evelyn Accountability School Satisfaction Survey. If you have more than one child currently attending D’Evelyn, you have the opportunity to complete the survey on behalf of the experience of each of your children. The survey will be available until Friday, February 12, 2021. You can complete the Parent survey here: D’Evelyn Parent School Satisfaction Survey We look forward to reviewing the feedback provided by our families in this survey process. Parent Teacher Conferences - February 11th and 12th Mr. Schmeckpeper has shared information and updates on our 2nd semester conferences, which will be held on February 11th and 12th. We are expanding our typical amount of available conference time to provide support for families during this challenging remote / hybrid learning environment. Please review Mr. Schmeckpeper’s message and sign up for conferences as you are able in accordance with the plan that he has outlined. I hope that it will be a valuable time for parents to connect with our teachers in an effort to collaboratively support students. Comments are closed.
