Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
This year, District 15 will be implementing eLearning on days with inclement weather. Devices will be sent home, so students can access Google Meets for live virtual instruction.
On November 19th, students will bring home their devices, case, and charger including our K-2 students for our practice eLearning day. All K-5 students should be expected to complete an online activity at home on their Chromebook to ensure that they are able to log in to their Chromebook at home and connect to their home WiFi. There will be no live virtual instruction after school. Students will practice logging into Google Meets at school on November 19th. At home, we are asking students to engage in a math assignment from our district curriculum, a NewsELA assignment, a SeeSaw activity, something assigned in Google Classroom, or another digital assignment. Teachers will share information specific to their classroom with families.
Preschool students will engage in hands on activities on days with inclement weather. Devices will not be sent home with our preschool students.
Teachers will send these directions home to K-2 students if those families need assistance connecting the Chromebook device to their home WiFi.
We understand that reliable internet access is crucial for student success. If your family is experiencing difficulties accessing the internet, please consider submitting a hotspot request. This device will provide your child with a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to the internet from home.
To request a hotspot, please email Ms. Pereyra, pereyrac@ccsd15.net and Ms. Tejeda, tejedar@ccsd15.net or call our school office.
Let's make it a great week!
Warmly,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal
