Hello, Taylor Families. I hope that you are all healthy and finding times to take care of yourselves in these uncertain times. Thank you to all of you who are essential workers and continue to support our community's safety and well being during this time.
By now, you should have received an update from our district that outlines our instructional plan moving forward, based on both our current circumstances and the state’s executive order to continue to provide learning experiences for our students over what would have been April break. Your next move as a parent is to visit the K-5 At-Home Learning page on our district website to access the weekly calendars for your child’s grade level. Your child’s homeroom teacher will be in touch to ensure you have and understand everything you need. While you are on our district website, I also encourage you to visit our library resource page for access to a variety of digital texts for both independent reading and read aloud. SORA is a particularly wonderful resource. https://libguides.monroe2boces.org/taylorlibrary
Sending thanks to those of you who have found time to access and acknowledge your child’s report card through our new digital process within IC Backpack. I ran a report that allowed me to see how successful families have been, and learned that while most have accessed their children’s report cards, not as many have “acknowledged” them, which is the process that replaces signing and returning paper report cards. Remember, you can access the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus by using this link.If you need a reminder on how to navigate to the report card in Infinite Campus, please click here, and if you have any questions about accessing Infinite Campus and/or viewing and acknowledging your child’s report card, please use the resource here or contact Kristine Cerami at 349-5601 or by e-mail at kcerami@spencerportschools.org
Please also remember that as this time away extends, our district is taking part in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s School Closure Meal Program, which provides free meals to students during school closure. Stop by Cosgrove, Munn or Taylor weekdays between 11:00 am and 12:30 pm (including next week) for grab-and-go lunch and the next day’s breakfast—completely free of charge. In addition, families impacted financially by the COVID-19 situation may also participate in the #SpencerportTogether dinner subsidy initiative. This program offers meals at reduced prices to those who need it, while generating at least some revenue for local businesses. If you have not been financially impacted but would like to support local restaurants, please place full-price take-out orders with them directly or donate to the subsidy program using this link, https://www.spencerportschools.org/district/novel_coronavirus___c_o_v_i_d-19_/__spencerport_together. To participate in the subsidy, please visit our web page for more information: https://spencerportcsd.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2idHzaVfNhvl141
That’s all for now, but I want you to know that I have enjoyed every opportunity to connect with you and your children during this time, and want to continue to make myself available. If your kiddo(s) want to connect, have them send me an e-mail and I will follow up with a call, FaceTime or Zoom!
Sending my best now and always,
Telcie Pincelli
Principal
