MARCH 17 - 27

Your continued patience is appreciated as we continue to manage precautions and preparations surrounding COVID-19, otherwise known as coronavirus. We are constantly checking in with and receiving updates from local and state health agencies to ensure our plans will keep students, staff, and community members safe and healthy. The situation is changing rapidly, and we will communicate with you as changes are made.

While schools were ordered to be closed for two weeks, we believe it is important for students to engage in learning activities. While we are not sending daily school work for students to complete, we have compiled activities that provide for the continuity of learning. These activities can be accessed by visiting the main page of our division website, www.greenecountyschools.com. In addition, they will be distributed in hard copy during meal pick ups. These activities are not meant to replace educational services, but to foster learning experiences that students look forward to each day.

Because we cannot maintain equity of access, and cannot guarantee that students will be able to access work, we are sending activities from the division to keep students engaged rather than trying to replace in-school learning activities. Any activities shared with students or parents should not be required or graded. Activities have been compiled for students and can be accessed on each school’s website.

In order to maintain social distancing, each building will have minimal staff. If you need to access the building, we request that you check in with the front office and minimize your travel in the building.

We are required to meet dates but can use phone conferences and/or things like "ZOOM" to facilitate them. Please hold IEP's asap, do not wait until the last minute. We have used ZOOM today and it works very well for showing the IEP like we are used to. Please reference directions included below if you'd like to use "Zoom" for your meeting. Please- if you have any questions or need any help let us know, we are here to help!!

If you need to hold a virtual meeting please think about using zoom. It is very user friendly. I've included and attached a link below that walks you through how to setup and host your own meeting. Thanks

How to Use ZOOM

Greene County Public Schools will be providing bagged meals for all children up to age 18 during the two week school closure beginning on Tuesday, March 17th from 4 pm - 6 pm. A bagged meal will contain two breakfast meals and two meals per child that could be used for lunch or dinner. No application or income verification will be required.

Meals will be available at the Nathanael Greene Primary School bus lane.

For health and safety reasons, the bus lane will serve as a "drive through" and meals will be handed to parents in vehicle.

Meals will also be available on Thursday 3/19, Monday 3/23, and Thursday 3/26 from 4 pm - 6 pm in the same location.

If your child has medication at the school that you would like to retreive, clinics will be open in each building from 2pm until 6pm on Tuesday, March 17 and Thursday, March 19.
