Anna Yates Elementary

Dear Anna Yates Families,

We are now entering week four of our distance learning school year and I want to thank you for all the hard work, time, and effort that has been required thus far.

After meeting with teachers, there are some concerns that our online assignments such as iReady are not being used as regularly as assigned. Here are a few reasons why completing all assignments, including these, are so important:

• They are our asynchronous assignments
• These asynchronous assignments are a part of our mandated daily number of instruction minutes (TK/K: 180 min; 1-3: 230 min; 4-5: 240 min)
• These completed assignments are looked at by site and district staff as well as our auditors to determine attendance and assignment completion
• These online assignments support and reinforce the learning that will take place throughout the week.
• They, such as iReady, serve as an intervention tool and intervention is mandated by new Ed Code

Thank you for supporting the completion of all daily assigned work.

With much appreciation,

Ms. Carter

Our Superintendent, Dr. Scott, has asked to survey all families regarding our current distance learning model and how it is going thus far. It is extremely time intensive to call all families so if we can get this information from all families rather than needing to all, that would be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Here is the survey.

Every Monday Ms. Santana will have office hours to support families that many need support or questions answered in Spanish; she will be available every Monday between 12-1 p.m. or by email.

Todos los lunes, la Sra. Santana tendra horas de oficina para apoyar a las familias que necesitan apoyo o preguntas respondidas en espanol. Ella estara disponible de 12-1 p.m. y por correo electronic.
