Virtual Welcome Letter

Virtual School Learning 2020-21

    We are excited to join you in this new adventure during the upcoming school year. We will be serving as your mentor teachers this year: Mrs. Charlotte Zorn and Mrs. Cristina Eyre. Both of us have served students in a virtual program for at least the past five years.

    There will be a video we will send to you with login instructions. You will only need to know your school email address and your school id# (which is your password); this information is the same information you use to login to your chromebook. Even if you choose to use your own device, you will need to know this information.

    Information that you have seen has recommended that you work on your school work between the hours of 7:00a.m. and 7:00p.m., but you are not required to work during those specific hours. It is important that you establish a consistent schedule to complete your work. Edmentum and all of your classes are available to you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We, as your mentors, will not be available to you 24/7 though;).

    As your mentor teachers, we will primarily be available to you from 7:30a.m.-3:30p.m., but each of us can be available to you as needed before 8:00p.m. Monday through Friday (or on the weekends for brief help). We will provide you with our email addresses and phone numbers at the bottom of this letter.

    We will be scheduling Zoom meetings with you by grade level twice a week to start the school year. We may have to alter this schedule and approach as we get going, but will figure that out together. Also, there may be other individuals from the High School and Middle School that may be assisting. As we determine the needs we have, we will establish those relationships.
