C2C #4

Just in case you missed this information in The Loop! 

The cutoff for Wall of Fame, Millionaire and Dreambox will be May 11.

Barbara was able to use the money you gave to purchase one more 

house cleaning for Lisa Lothspeich and Ford's family.  Lisa's response:

"Thank you so very much! WE are so thankful for your prayers, 

support and friendship!"

Congratulations to Monica Bramlett  and her family.  

Elsie Raye Harrison is here!  Taylor is doing well. 

During our Zoom meetings this week we will discuss our plan for 

students who are not completing work.  List below are some steps that 

Rachel and I have been using when we talk to you.  They are not a

 "written in stone" checklist, but a guide to help us document 

and help you. We know that every situation is 

unique and comes with is own set of challenges.  

1. email the parent and call - give this at least 4 or 5 days.

2. Start calling every day - give this 3 or 4 days - Email Rachel

3. Call, email or leave messages telling the parent that you really want to help.  Offer to alter the work load, change assignments, help with internet issues.  During this time we really need to determine why they child is not doing the work.- Rachel will involve me at this point, but you are welcome to reach out too. We can brainstorm ideas together.

4.  Based on what information you received in #3, we will make a plan to help.  That plan may include reducing work load, changing assignments, a standing Zoom or phone conversation with the student 1-2 times a week, a phone call and support from April Smith, and possible a packet instead of online learning.

5. If all of this fails or doesn't sustain after it's set up.  I will call the parent and talk to them about the importance of "evidence of learning". I'll go over all the options presented in #3 and #4 and see if they need a home visit. ( they really don't want this)

6.We will continue to try, but we'll turn over all of our documentation to the Board.

** IMPORTANT INFO!  

We will send out report cards via mail on May 22.  However, students who need extra time will have up to 2 additional weeks.  Keep that in mind when you are making decisions. I feel certain all of our students want to be finished by May 22, but we do have that extra time to "catch up".
