Good evening PV, We are excited for the start of the school year. Even though we are starting school in a virtual environment, please know the teachers and staff are working hard to prepare for the year. We are getting closer to our anticipated opening of school next week, Sept 8th. We will follow a normal bell schedule while we are virtual and when we move to a hybrid schedule. This means classes will begin at the same time they would have begun if students were physically in the building. Bell Schedule
Now this does not mean that students will be sitting in front of a computer for the entire 47 minutes with a four minute break in between classes. Nor does it mean that students will only be watching a prerecorded video for the entire period. What will happen during classes will look different than it did in the spring. We will be having real live classes held through the chromebook. Students will see and interact with their teachers, participate in discussions, lectures, activities and more. It should feel more similar to what students were used to before March 13th. Teachers have been setting up their google classrooms and their zoom information. Please have your student log into Classlink before Sept 8 and log into their Google Classroom. Your students’ classes should all be listed there. Have your student go into each classroom to identify the information about how they should access Zoom on Sept 8th. If you have questions about a google classroom please contact the teacher. This fall, attendance and grading go back to normal. Students are expected to attend class every period. Attendance will be reported and recorded in our new student information system. Parents will be able to view attendance for each period and for the day in ParentVue. If a student is sick for the day and cannot attend classes parents will need to email Mrs. Berry at the attendance office at HSAttendance@pvsd.org. Also if the student needs to go to the orthodontist or a doctor and will miss some classes that day, please also contact Mrs. Berry. Students who are in study hall period 3 and all AM tech students must make sure to respond to the google form each day in order to be marked present. Please remind students to check their PVSD emails daily. Invitations to each teacher’s google classroom will be sent to the student’s email address. Our tech department contacted all students who are new to the district to arrange a time for a chromebook grab and go. Don’t forget that if you have issues with a chromebook please put in a help desk ticket at helpdesk@ovsd.org High School Grab and Go Pick Up for classroom materials will take place for students on Thursday, September 10th and Monday, September 14th from 3pm until 6 pm. Should a student participate in a sport or school activity and their time slot conflicts with practice, we will allow these students to come at 3 pm for pick up. Not all students will need to participate in the grab and go. Teachers will notify students during the first two days of class if a grab and go is needed for their course. The sign up sheet will be available next week.
Please share this with your student: Things to do before Sept 8th:
Do these things while learning each day
Do these things after the school day to be ready for tomorrow
We are looking forward to an exciting year! Dr. Moss Mr. Berk Mr. Stipa Dr. Slavin |
