Hola familias de Verona Elementary, los
estudiantes recibirán o habrán recibido paquetes de trabajo por correo. Cuando el gobernador Parsons anunció el cierre de las escuelas de Missouri, los distritos tuvieron que considerar cómo manejar las calificaciones y la regresión. Todos los estudiantes tienen alguna forma de regresión durante el verano, lo que significa que pierden algo de lo que ganaron durante el año escolar. Nuestra situación actual no será un mes o dos de regresión, sino posiblemente hasta cuatro meses y medio de regresión. Detuvimos las calificaciones con el tercer trimestre; sin embargo, las oportunidades de aprendizaje aún deben ser proporcionadas por los distritos. Es por eso que los maestros envían paquetes a casa e intentan llegar a los estudiantes a través de la tecnología. Nuestro propósito ahora es proporcionar a los padres expectativas de nivel de grado y detener cualquier regresión que podamos. No se darán calificaciones por ningún trabajo completado. No hay ninguna expectativa de que devuelva el trabajo al maestro; a menos que el maestro te haya contactado personalmente. Todos estamos en aguas desconocidas; Lo mejor que podemos esperar es que todos tengan algunas oportunidades de aprendizaje y se mantengan seguros y saludables. Enviaremos más paquetes a casa a principios de mayo para terminar el año escolar. Todavía no hay respuestas sobre la escuela de verano; Sin embargo, es una esperanza que podamos mantenerlo. Si tiene más preguntas, llame a la escuela a la extensión 503. Reviso mis mensajes telefónicos todos los días o envíe un correo electrónico a mwhitehead@veronar7.net.
Hello Verona Elementary Families,
Students will be receiving or have received work packets in the mail. When Governor Parsons announced the closing of Missouri schools, districts had to consider how to handle grades and regression. All students have some form of regression over the summer, meaning they lose some of what they gained over the school year. Our current situation won't be a month or two of regression, but possibly up to four and a half months of regression. We stopped grades with 3rd quarter; however, learning opportunities must still be provided by districts. Which is why teachers are mailing home packets and trying to reach students through technology. Our purpose now is to provide parents with grade level expectations, and to stem any regression we can. There will be no grades given for any work completed. There is no expectation for you to return work to the teacher; unless the teacher has contacted you personally. We are all in uncharted waters; the best we can hope for is everyone to have some learning opportunities and to stay safe and healthy. We will send more packets home at the beginning of May to finish up the school year. There are still no answers over summer school; however, it is a hope we will be able to hold it. If you have further questions, please call the school at extension 503. I check my phone messages daily, or email mwhitehead@veronar7.net.

Hello parents and students,
I just wanted to invite my students to use a great app to help us communicate! It is called Talking Points. We can text and the app will translate for us. I would love to hear from my students and I would also be happy to help in any way I can. Please use this code to join my Talking Points class and drop me a line. I can’t wait to hear from you all! Code: 0TU5HX
Elementary PE Students and Parents,
I wanted to remind you that I created a website for Physical Education. Here is a copy of the link:

School is not canceled it has shifted to distance learning. Advisory Teachers will be calling parents to explain what that looks like and what is expected of students. For those without internet access, we will make alternative arrangements.
Two new projects for elementary students to try: https://wildcat-art.blogspot.com/p/elementary-art.html?m=1
If you are not following the elementary Facebook account you are missing out on the daily snaps. Mrs. Whitehead hasn’t figured out how to post videos to the app, so the snaps don’t get on the district social media outlets. Follow Verona Elementary on FB. 😀
Due to the recent announcement from Governor Parsons, Verona Schools are closed for the remainder of this school year. We will continue with our virtual education and meals. We are still looking at options for summer school and a belated graduation for the 2020 senior class.
Here is a great art project for any age. If you don’t have paint, try food coloring.
