Hello. Our students have done a fabulous job at HMS so far this week. We are so very proud of how they have listened and followed all the social distancing guidelines required of them. Masks are required from arrival to leaving HMS property. If your virtual student is interested in having tutoring in math or language, they will need to contact their math/language teachers via Schoology and let them know what day they plan to attend virtually (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:34-5:30). The math/language teacher will then give one of the Afterschool Tutors the name and email of the student, as well as the day they wish to have tutoring. The Afterschool Tutors will then set up a team meeting for virtual students to join. Students/Parents will be expected to notify the teacher of interest at least one day in advance. In person tutoring is also available as I mentioned last night. Permission slips are in the planner. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:34-5:30. Buses will drop off at central locations. Parent pick up will be in front of new building starting at 5:20. I will send via text and post the bus information to the PCS Connect app. Under HMS. Have a great evening.
