Some students use Windows or Apple devices at home(instead of chrome books) with a separate login step required to sign in to Google in order to access Google or Clever eCurricuum apps.

They may not realize that credentials to sign into Google are the same as those they use to sign into a chrome book where google sign-in occurs automatically.

Dear ACE Parents,

As we begin our new adventure on April 6, 2020, let us all take a deep breath and know that WE will all try our best and that WE will get through this!

Is it going to be super easy, no way… be patient and let’s see how the first week goes?

Each grade will be sending a schedule of when “online classes” will be meeting.  These “online classes” will be Reading and Math for ALL grades with some of the upper grades tossing in some science, social studies, and writing along the way. 

The “online classes” will be about 20 – 30 minutes in length and all resources are available on the ACE website under NTI.  All the materials were also mailed to your home (unless you picked those up last week).  The “online classes” will also be recorded for your child to watch at other times that may be more convenient for your family.  Each day your child will also have the opportunity for a Related Arts Class (PE, Art, Music, Science, or Library) and those classes will also be about 20 minutes or so in length.

All teachers will have “virtual office” hours as well.  During this time the teacher may invite your student to a small group, have individualized instruction, and most importantly…be available to YOU if you have questions, be able to answer emails, and to conference with the class, if necessary.

The intervention teachers, speech teacher, Special Education teachers, Spanish teacher, EL, Band, Counselors, and GT teacher will also have “online lessons” or times for them to meet.  These teachers have links on the ACE website with activities to complete.

Teachers will be “taking attendance” of those in the “online class”, but that IS NOT the only way for your child to receive credit for the class/day.  Teachers will also be looking for completed assignments online and with the “packets” that were mailed.  WE will most likely have a packet drop off day once all this gets going.  Your child WILL be given credit for those assignments on paper or the ones completed online.  WE will work with you to ensure that EVERY child gets credit (this is a mandate from the state for NTI days) for school the next few weeks.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – be patient!  There will be glitches and technology problems and tantrums (mostly adult ones), but this is what we are facing for the short-term, hopefully!  Just think, by the time this is over we will thank our lucky stars for what was and what we learned!

I look forward to this new adventure and if I can be of any help, don’t hesitate to contact me via email at:  mark.rose@fayette.kyschools.us

Sincerely,

Mark A. Rose, Principal
