• Remote Learning Greetings from York

    Bulldog Families,

    I hope you all are hunkered down and have faired well as Winter made it's presence known. I personally love the first moments of a snowy day having grown up in the snow belt of Western New York and hope your family was safe and warm over the past few days. I know we weren't sure of what to expect and am grateful that power outages and falling trees didn't become a wide spread issue.

    This email will review the district’s remote learning expectations and how that is being specifically implemented at York (a remote learning day has been called by WCPSS for tomorrow 1/27 - please watch your email and major news outlets for additional announcements if additional days are added). Now that the 2nd quarter had passed, we will be rolling into our second semester with the start of quarter 3 when we return. Report cards will be sent home at the end of this week. 

    For remote learning – students will complete assignments at home when a “remote learning” (versus a “banked day”) is called by WCPSS. This will necessarily look different for our elementary students than our secondary school students.

    PreK – 5th

    Elementary students at York have been given packets of work that can be done over the time that remote learning has been called for. Elementary students will NOT need their school Chromebook to complete these tasks as the packets were sent home with students last Friday (be sure to check your child's back pack/take home folder). All packet work should be brought back to school for extension in the classroom  the day we return to school or the day after. If you have any questions, teachers will be checking their email throughout the day tomorrow and can respond as needed. 

    For your reference, here is the letter I’ve sent previously regarding WCPSS remote learning. Again, if you have any questions or needs regarding remote learning please reachout to your child's teacher.
