Hello Belcher School families.  I hope you’ve had some time to relax over Spring Break and that you are healthy.

As we transition to digital learning for the next few weeks, our team is here to support you.  Our children are resilient and we will find the bright side of this new experience together. 

This week students should login to Clever and participate in the enrichment activities available.  You can find a link on our school’s webpage. 

Next week, starting on March 30^th, we will begin digital learning though the Microsoft Teams app.  To access virtual instruction, students can use a smart phone, tablet or computer. 

If you need a device, we will use our car circle to distribute them over the next two days. 

In order to pick up a device,

• Students must be accompanied by an adult. 
• The adult must provide identification
• The adult will need to fill out and sign the Parent (Guardian)/Student Technology Equipment Receipt and Responsibility Form  (You may download this form from our website and bring the printed copy with you to save time.  One form is needed for each device)
• The student will login to the computer with their R2D2 number to ensure the device is working and properly updated before leaving campus. 

The form below must be completed in order to check out a device.  If possible, please print and fill out one form for each child that needs a device prior to arriving.  We will also have copies available at school for those that do not have access to a printer.

I encourage you to come at your assigned time to ensure we do not have a large crowd. If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or are not feeling well, please send someone on your behalf. We will be following all CDC protocols, including social distancing. We ask that you do the same.

If you have any concerns or special needs, please contact the school or me directly.

I will continue to keep our families updated. Thank you for your patience and flexibility. We are a strong community and I know we will continue to support each other as we move forward.

Educationally yours,

Kristy Moody
