Remote Learning Family/Public Update 5/22/20 👋Reach Out To Your Student’s Teacher: Attendance or Otherwise Each Friday, we take attendance at OTES for the week. In order for your student to be marked as present for the week, we must have documentation of their work. This documentation can come in many forms from online work submission, to pictures, a phone conversation, an email, or a message. If you have concerns about work completion or if circumstances are making it challenging to complete work, please reach out to your student’s teacher about this as well. We have many resources to support you! Also, if at any time your student makes up work at a later date, please contact the teacher! Make up packets from past weeks are available at OTES. 🇺🇸Memorial Day School buildings will be closed and no required work will be assigned on Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. If you usually pick up a packet on Monday, packet pick up will be available at AES, OTES and VRS on Tuesday, May 26th from 8am-2pm.

Our counselors are available at trysha.lunn@rsu34.org (K and 1st) or vicki.wilcox@rsu34.org (2nd-5th).
