Tudor Weekly Update

This week Dr. Bishop announced that we will be hopefully starting back to school October 19th. Students will be at school five days a week from 9:30 - 3:00. These are positive changes for our school community, however there many questions left to be answered as we make this transition.

I have been working hard with district leadership and school staff to make sure that we have plans and procedures in place to keep our staff and students safe. The Anchorage School District Website has a great deal of information about the mitigation plans. Please take some time to review the information. I will also be holding weekly Town Hall Meetings via Zoom. These meetings will be a chance for me to answer your questions as well gather your concerns to relay to district administration. The days, times, and zoom links are listed below.

Remember that there is still one month left of first quarter. Teachers are working hard providing daily lessons and instruction. Students need to keep actively engaged by participating in Zoom sessions (or watching the recordings), completing assignments, and submitting work. Teachers are checking daily for participation and will be using that data as well as graded assignments to complete report cards.

Please remember keeping a clear consistent routine for your family will help all students find success. Posted schedules and a distraction free work area will help not only your child, but also the other children in the class. Remind your students that they are on camera so they need to be dressed appropriately for school.

I hope you all have a great week. If you have questions or concerns please call the office at 742-1050.

With the hopeful start of in person school soon, there are many questions, some we have answers to and some we are still working on finding answers to. The Anchorage School District website has a great deal of resources. Please take the time to read through the website. Every Wednesday at 6:30 I will be having Town Hall Meetings via Zoom to not only answer questions, but to gather other questions you might have about school this year.
