Hello Falcon families! We will be using GES Online Day #3 on Monday, March 2, 2026.
Please review the information below and reach out to Mrs. Shreve, Mr. Myers and/or your child's teacher(s) for details.
Thank you!
Your child's teacher has reached out via Rooms with specific information and has shared any paper/pencil materials that will be needed for the day(s). This is what you need to know about online days...
*Students will be expected to complete paper/pencil activities and assignments that are sent home. So, when your child's teacher sends home any materials. Please complete materials indicated for DAY #3 on Monday, March 2, 2026.
*Teachers will be available for questions or needs on both Rooms and by email from 8:15a.m. to 3:30p.m. Also, on an online day(s), each teacher will share a Google MEET link through Rooms. From 2:15p.m. to 3:30p.m. on an online day(s), families and students can use this link to check-in on camera with their teacher(s). Reminder…the purpose of an online check-in would be to ask questions and/or seek clarification regarding assigned work.
*Attendance will be taken on each online day. A day's attendance will be earned when a student turns in the assigned work on the next in-person school day. We recognized that not all students will have access to a computer/internet in their homes. Therefore, logging on to Google MEET is not required. However, in order to earn a day's attendance, all students must turn in assigned work on the next in-person school day following the online day(s).
IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK, PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL TO NOTIFY OF THE ILLNESS (just as you would on an in-person school day)
If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Shreve or Mr. Myers or your child's teacher(s). Please check Rooms and your child's take-home folder for online day information/assignments.
