Lenox Elementary

Since we started Hybrid and continued CDL, we have noticed some trends with attendance. Here are a few reminders of expectations for our students in both Hybrid and CDL:

• Wednesdays--all students are still expected to virtually join morning meeting and any other small group opportunities their teacher has provided for them. They also are expected to do asynchronous learning and tasks posted in the Google Classroom.
• 3rd-6th grade Hybrid students--on your at home CDL days, you are still expected to participate in synchronous and asynchronous learning.
• K-2nd Hybrid students--if you are unable to attend on your in-person days, please remember you can still join virtually and do assignments in Google Classroom.
• All CDL students--please make sure to join synchronous lessons and complete the asynchronous work daily

Families, please continue to check in with your student, whether they are in CDL or Hybrid. Have them show you their Google Classroom, the assignments they have turned in, assignments that have been given feedback by the teacher, etc. I also encourage you to check ParentVue for attendance and grading.

Please take a look at the schoolwide Lenox Attendance Calendar below for this past school year. A trend you will see is more red days (<=92% attendance rate) and less green (>=95% attendance rate) in the months of March and April. Attending school is critical to your child's learning. This includes attending in-person for our Hybrid students, and asynchronously or synchronously for all. Thank you for you support. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions. Let's get back into the green!

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Gina McLain

We are in need of students to color, design, and add kind notes to these apples and hearts for as many staff members as they would like! Let's help our Lenox staff members know just how special they are to us!

To submit your apples and hearts:

• Hybrid students: Printed sheets will be coming home soon with students. If they would like to fill out additional sheets, they are welcomed to use the links above to do so. When finished, please return apples and hearts to your classroom teacher who will put them in a collection envelope for delivery later in the week.
  
• CDL students: If your family has access to a printer and would like to turn in hearts and apples, CDL families are welcome to drop off finished projects to Mrs. Zmolek in the office. For those who do not have the ability to print or drop off items at the school, students can color and write special messages using KAMI (the PDF extension) in Google Classroom and email a copy to lenoxboosterclub@gmail.com.
  
  

* IMPORTANT: The deadline to turn in apples and hearts is on Friday, April 30th. THANK YOU in advance for your participation in making this a great week for the staff!
