I hope everyone had a chance to read the email from Mr. Kramer.
If not, know that as of Monday 3/16 OLG will be closed to students for 6 weeks. As a staff, we have been formulating a plan for remote learning. In the younger grades this is achieved through packets of worksheets. For 5th-grade I’m opting for a more analogue/ digital hybrid approach. 5th-grade students have school provided email accounts, access to Google Classroom, our class blog, as well as accounts with several online learning games and content providers.
I will continue to send out daily parent emails but I will also email students assignments, links to instructional videos, and directions. Some work will be turned in digitally and some will be turned in when we return to class. It is important that you help your child keep track of their materials and to stay organized.
 I understand that not all families have a computer and/or a printer. Please, email me with any accommodations that I could make that would help with your situation while maintaining the education of your child. Due dates on assignments will be veryflexible. I will be coming into the school and could print out any documents for pick up.
As a staff, we are taking Friday to solidify our remote learning plan but please, if you can, send in larger bags tomorrow to accommodate the many materials I will be sending home!
I really appreciate your patience and flexibility during this unprecedented time.
