BUSY BEE BYLINES

KEENE-RIVERVIEW SCHOOL

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

I hope you had a safe and relaxing summer. With school starting in a week, I wanted to inform you about a few of the upcoming shifts in your child’s education. Due to safety concerns for staff and students, students will be attending school virtually for the 1st trimester. The virtual format will be drastically improved from the spring.

• The district purchased Chromebooks for every child.

• Hot spots (internet) will be provided to students who do not have an internet provider.

• Teachers will be providing instruction through live (synchronous) and recorded (asynchronous) videos.

• Interventions will be provided virtually either one-on-one or in small groups several times each week.

• CANVAS- Staff will use this format to assign work, collect finished assignments, post videos and provide feedback to students.

• The district will provide school supplies to every child.

• Math Tool Kits will be issued to students to support the learning of mathematics.

• Several new digital resources have been purchased to support staff and students.

I want to thank you for your support during this very difficult time and your commitment to your child’s education. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to call our office at 509-786-2020. I look forward to partnering with you this year.

Sincerely,

Kris Kell Moore
