UPDATE 5/26/20: We would like to say thank you for all of your hard work and support over the entire school year. Tuesday May 26^th is the last day of school.

There will be a collection bin stationed outside for drop off in front of the gym entrance. If your scholar has items from his or her locker that needs to be picked up, these are the dates and times you can do so. Please contact Dr. Perkins via email (markiel.perkins@cardinalschools.org) if you are picking up locker items with a time and locker number.

Please make sure dropped off items are in bags and have your name labeled on them. Scholars in grades 9-11 should keep their Chromebooks. All other items may be returned.

Chromebooks and school supplies that are being returned should be in a plastic bag with your name on it. Please put Chromebooks and chargers in the same bag and school supplies in a separate bag.

You will also be picking up your caps and gowns. When you drive up, you should have your turn-in bags in your trunk or passenger side window. We will retrieve the items and either hand you your caps and gowns or put them in your trunk to limit contact. Thank you for your cooperation!

3/16/20:

CHS plans to utilize the following methods to provide instruction during the mandatory closure (updated 3/16/20):

• Attendance will be based on work completed each day this week beginning Tuesday, March 17 and running through Friday, March 20, and then again from March 30-April 3. Please be sure to log into Google Classroom to complete assignments (or the appropriate paperwork) for each scheduled day.
• Students will be assigned work through Google Classroom on a daily basis March 17-20 and March 30-April 3. The instruction online will be an hour a day per subject as a general guideline. Examples of this are lessons, assignments, and presentations or combination of all of these, which is what our instructors assign when they have substitute teachers. Many of our outstanding staff already use the technology to supplement their instruction. Thus, our scholars have been doing this already and are prepared to do it for as long as we need to going forward. 
• Our scholars who do not have internet access will have assignments in hard copy through class folders that can be picked up between 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. or 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17. We ask that you try to call before coming in to pick up your paperwork so we may have it ready for you.
• Attendance will be based on work completed each day of the alternative instruction period. Please make sure you are logging into Google Classroom or completing work each scheduled school day. This is how we will be taking attendance. 
• If you have any questions you can Dr. Markiel Perkins at markiel.perkins@cardinalschools.org.
• Exceptional students and students with disabilities will be provided supports.  District staff has been working to be sure we provide these students what is needed to continue their education while away from the traditional school building. Teachers and related service providers (OT, SLP, social workers, interventionists) have worked closely to be sure that students are receiving opportunities for support while not within the buildings. If you have any questions about services, please contact Pupil Services Director, Dr. Jennifer Sabol at 330-807-8626 or jennifer.sabol@cardinalschools.org.

NEW! SPRING MUSICAL: The decision has been made to officially cancel the spring musical The Addams Family.

UPDATE 5/11/20: Teachers will be wrapping up assignments the week of May 11th allowing time for any outstanding work to be completed.

The week of May 18-22 will be designated for grade level drive through “drop off” and “pick up” of materials. Families can drive up to the building’s main doors from 8:00am-3:00pm to drop off blizzard bag assignments, chromebooks, library books and any other educational materials. Bins will be labeled and provided.  Grade level teachers will be outside to say goodbye to students and provide families with materials left at school.

Those students working on Chromebooks should continue to turn in their assignments as instructed by their teacher.

UPDATE – 3/19/20:

Thank you for all you are doing to support your children during  this unprecedented time. The teachers have been working very hard to provide alternative, differentiated instruction to our students in each grade level. Teachers have provided instructions for blizzard bag completion for this week and the week after Spring Break. They will be checking in each week with students to offer support on assignments and ensure assignment completion each day as a means to support students, attendance, and grading.  Attendance and work completion is important even though we are not attending classes in the school building. The first week of assignments is due tomorrow and teachers will be using them as part of the 4th quarter grades and attendance.

If you are having problems understanding a lesson or assignment, please contact your child’s teacher directly. They are working and are available to help anyway they can. 

If you are having Chromebook issues, please contact Mr. Kithcart@ joel.kithcart@cardinalschools.org 

As a reminder there will be no meal service next week during spring break. If you are in need of meal assistance, please consider one of these options.

——————————————–

3/16/20:

JES will plan to utilize the following methods to provide instruction over the mandated closure (updated 3/16/20):

• Teachers were in district Monday, March 16 to planning assignments and creating blizzard bags.
• Only 3rd grade students will be utilizing Chromebooks during this extended break. All 3rd grade students should have received a 1:1 Chromebook contract in their take home folder on Friday. These need to be completed and returned during office hours on Tuesday, March 17.
• School will be open on Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and 6:00-8:00 p.m. for those who need to pick up blizzard bags and/or Chromebooks. If you are a car rider, walker, open enrolled student you need to come get your items during these hours.
• Drivers will be running their regular bus routes Tuesday morning starting at 8:30 a.m. to deliver Blizzard Bags and meals if you’ve signed up to receive them. This is for all students who regularly ride the bus. Blizzard bags will be dropped off at the afternoon bus stop. In order to comply with recommendations from health officials on “social distancing” we are limiting face-to-face contact. Blizzard bags will be left on the porch for you. If you are receiving meals, please place a bin, cooler, box – some kind of container – on the porch for us to set the food in. All food must be eaten or refrigerated immediately.
• Chromebooks will not be delivered on these routes – those must be picked up at school.
•  All school work is to be turned in when students come back to school on Tuesday, April 7th. The work is mandatory, will be graded, and will count toward attendance for the days of school during the closure. Students are required to complete and return the school work during this time as it is part of our remote learning plan as we work to “provide instruction through alternative means” per the State Governor’s guidance.
• Exceptional students and students with disabilities will be provided supports.  District staff has been working to be sure we provide these students what is needed to continue their education while away from the traditional school building. Teachers and related service providers (OT, SLP, social workers, interventionists) have worked closely to be sure that students are receiving opportunities for support while not within the buildings. If you have any questions about services, please contact Pupil Services Director, Dr. Jennifer Sabol at 330-807-8626 or jennifer.sabol@cardinalschools.org.
• Please feel free to call the office with any questions. We will continue to communicate information to families via Infinite Campus, the School Website, and social media platforms. Please be sure to check them regularly. 
• If your child is having trouble coping with the current events, visit the CMS Counselor’s webpage – there are some resources there for assistance.
• Most importantly, please take care of yourselves and each other during this time and don’t hesitate to reach out over the next few weeks if you need anything. We are here to help as much as possible. Thank you to all of our teachers & staff members who worked hard on Friday and will be working over this extended break to ensure that education will continue as school buildings are shut down. We have a great staff, great students, and great families, & we will get through this together. Stay safe and healthy. We hope to see everyone back in school on April 7th.
