iTech Students and Families,
We hope this finds your healthy and happy and that you are getting ready to enjoy the wonderful weather this weekend! We also hope that families are finding your groove in distance learning. As we are now in a routine, make sure that students are reaching out to teachers with questions and staying engaged in office hours and Zoom meetings. Teachers are here to help and welcome the opportunity to connect.
Continue to check Canvas for the projects that teachers have developed to help make student learning experiences during this time great! We are excited and as always amazed to see what our wonderful students come up with! Thanks for all of your hard work and flexibility during this time both students and families! We know if is not easy.
It is also important to make being active a priority as we are staying at home and healthy. Check our Mr. Joy and Mr. Byrne’s activities in Canvas for a fun and engaging way to get some exercise! Try it as a family 🙂
New Information:
Quarter 3 grades are posted in Skyward. You will also be receiving a hard copy in the mail next week. For details on grading during the closure please see the HUB or here.
Reminders:
Please visit our “HUB” linked here . This is a place where we post general documents that will help students and families stay organized and informed. Students will still go to Canvas for specifics on their classes. We will add to this as we go.
Included in the HUB are:
  • Templates to organize your week and create a “schedule”
  • Documents with Zoom meeting times for teachers and their classes (These are scheduled times for teachers but know that you can always contact teachers with questions via email or Canvas as well)
  • Grading guidelines for the closure period
We also know that some students and families may need some help in coming up with schedules and structures. Our counselors are happy to help you if you need it, you can reach them at:
6-8 Ms. Arden- rita.arden@vansd.org
9-12 Mrs. Campagna- megan.campagna@vansd.org
Please reach out if you have any questions. I hope that you are having a great week and staying safe!
GO RAVENS!
