From the Principal Dear North Woods Families,
Our teachers will be working hard next week to transition into Distance Learning. Some of you may have received preliminary schedules from your classroom teacher. We will be sending out finalized schedules to families on Tuesday afternoon.
I am so proud of our staff. Their ability to adapt to ongoing changes this school year has been amazing. Receiving words of encouragement from you and your children have meant the world to them.
I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am grateful for all of you and your commitment to our school. I look forward to the day when we can come together in person to celebrate our students.
Warm regards,
Jenny Berg
Did You Know? Important Zoom Information In order to maintain a safe and secure environment for all learners, it is imperative that when students are preparing to participate in a Zoom meeting, they are using their District-issued iPad, using the Zoom app, and logged in with their district username and password. If you are unsure of how to set up your child's iPad with Zoom, follow these instructions.
Technology Assistance To ensure the safety for all, we are requesting the following process be followed for all technology assistance:
Reminders Material Pick Up Dates for Distance Choice We will be having material pick up for distance choice students on Fridays throughout the year. The dates are listed below for your information. The times for the pick up will be 9:00-11:30 a.m. on the dates listed below. Please use the lower parking lot and have your child's first and last name and grade on a piece of paper. Please return your child's plastic bag with their name on it. We will give you the current two weeks of materials from your child's teacher in a new bag and continue rotating these two bags throughout the year. Thank you for your cooperation!
