1322 Best Humor images in 2020 | Funny, Hilarious, Humor

As we now have a month being away from our GVMS building, we sincerely hope that you are safe, healthy, and found some stability in this new "normal".....

PARENTS/GUARDIANS, read this =)

I recently read THIS ARTICLE (for myself, trust me!) about things that I could or needed to remind myself about working from home and distance learning.  I thought I would share:

*Remember to have fun, laugh and take breaks!
*Have and maintain a routine.  

*Trust the teachers.  Reach out to the teachers.  Tell the teachers what is going on, especially if your student is stressed out.
*Take breaks and try to do it without your phone!
*This new "normal" involves the WHOLE family....
*Keep it low key- it's okay if we don't finish EVERYTHING all in one day.  IT'S OKAY!


How is it going, Vikings?
Questions on assignments? Email your teacher directly. They will be checking email Monday - Friday during regular school hours: 8:36 AM - 2:50 PM as often as they can, keeping in mind that many of our teachers are now the homeschool teachers for their own small children.  Their schedule may need to be flexible due to nap times and school times for their own children =).  Any email that comes in after 2:50 PM will be answered on the next school day.


Tips for being productive during Distance Learning:

*Find a space that you can try to just make yours
*Have a schedule printed out for yourself
*Take breaks!
*Set a goal to complete ONE assignment per day

ATTENTION CURRENT 6TH GRADERS:

Please turn in a copy of your child's immunization record showing that they have received the T.dap immunization on or after their 7th birthday to the nurses's office!  They MUST have proof of receiving two Varicella immunizations as well!  Proof of receiving these immunizations must be received BEFORE your student can pick up their 7th grade schedule or attend 7th grade!!!  Call our nurses's office at 863-7375 if you have questions!

17 Short Positive Quotes Which Will Brighten Up Your Day - Ed Lester
Sometimes, this can be hard to remember!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS again =) 
ALL GVMS students have access to Google Classroom and the codes for each classroom teacher, including electives and PE.  Please have your student SHOW you what they are being assigned!
Please keep in mind:  Our Vikings spend around 6.5 hours with us each day and you should not expect that your student will be given that much work to do at home. At school your child receives about 15-20 minutes of direct instruction in each subject, then about 15-20 minutes of guided practice and discussion, 15 minutes of independent time to complete their work (give or take!).

VIKINGS!  You have done an AWESOME job of logging in and completing your work!  Don't forget to take a breath, don't get overwhelmed, get some sunshine, and get off your screens throughout the day!  

Can we help you?
