GSE-
I want to touch base with each or you regarding attendance.
Our attendance policy has been added under documents and in Schoology messages.
When school started you should of signed a Hybrid or Remote Learning Contract. Please refer to those as well.
I want to thank many of you for doing such a great job with turning in assignments, attending online as required, watching all videos on Schoology and meeting your teacher's requirements.
As we are now in full swing we must do better with attendance, participation and completion of work when you are working from home either hybrid (3 days at home) or fully remote (all 5 at home).
This is the new norm for school. If you need assistance please contact your child's teacher.
I can't stress enough how important it is that you keep in contact with your child's teacher and ensure that your child is keeping up with his or her school work. Also please remember to submit doctor's notes and written parent notes when your child is absent.
Regular school hours should be attempted to be kept when possible at home. Regular bedtime is also important at this time.
School is in session and we are half way through our first quarter already. We have so much to cover as is with our late start due to COVID-19, so every single day is so important and cannot be wasted.
Our district attendance coach is starting to make contact with families that are not complying with attendance contracts.
Thanks for your attention to this and let's do our best to continue our hard work as a Blue Ribbon School.
Mrs. Martinez

GSE-Good evening families. We are off to a great start. We are excited to have our Cohort B students tomorrow. We are still making small adjustments but overall things are falling into place. Just wanted to let you know that in order to stay current with NM PED and BCS safety guidelines we are setting a deadline of Friday, September 11th to make any changes to your child's learning model (Hybrid vs. Remote). This deadline will allow us to fully comply with the guidance set forth by the state. We know it is a difficult time and the safety of your child is our top priority. Thank you for your understanding of this matter. As always if you have concerns or questions let us know. Have a great evening. Mrs. Martinez
