This week is there are several changes in our schedule as we prepare for Hybrid Learning and a return to in-person instruction (due to begin on Monday, April 26th).

Here's a look at what to expect...

Here is a link to a letter regarding Dayton's plans for reopening/in-person instruction/Distance Learning starting next week…Google Doc:

Thank you.

CHANGE IN ZOOM INSTRUCTIONAL SESSIONS FROM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21 TO FRIDAY, APRIL 23 :

Due to teachers working on preparing their classroom environments for in-person instruction, our Zoom Instructional Sessions will be student "Check-Ins" from 10:30-11:00am from Wednesday, April 21st to Friday, April 23rd.  Zoom Meetings on those days will primarily be updates & information regarding the changes in scheduling associated with reopening Dayton School and sharing of Autobiography Slide Shows for those scheduled to share with the class on those days.

HOWEVER, additional classwork WILL be provided on these days by Mr. Moore. This a link to this classwork can be found under each day's "Daily Instructional Schedule and Classwork" in the Google Classroom.

Regular instruction and classwork will resume with the new Hybrid Learning model on Monday, April 26th.

NO P.E. ON THURSDAY, APRIL 22: Regularly scheduled P.E. instruction will not take place this week due to preparations being made for Hybrid Learning.

Students will be informed by the Coach Mac and/or myself as to what the new P.E. schedule will be moving forward.  Students should be checking their school-issued email regularly for updates on scheduling.

NO WEDNESDAY MORNING GATHERING THIS WEEK: Due to the significant changes and adjustments being made within such a short time period, there will be no Wednesday Morning Gathering this week.

Updates will be given once Wednesday Morning Gatherings resume.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON REOPENING, IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION, HYBRID LEARNING, AND THOSE REMAINING IN DISTANCE LEARNING: 

The situation regarding changes linked to reopening is VERY tumultuous right now.  Specifics regarding scheduling, protocols, expectations, and routines are all being developed on a day-by-day (and, in some cases, hour-by-hour!) basis.  

I am doing everything I can to keep families informed of all relevant information just as soon as it becomes available to me.  As of right now, there isn't a lot of specifics I can provide regarding what a return to in-person instruction will look like next week.  Similarly, we don't haver definitive information on the exact details related to those who will remain in Distance Learning.

ALL STUDENTS, however, will be continue doing some degree of computer-based classwork through the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW INFORMATION THIS WEEK: There will be a tremendous amount of decisions made this week in terms of reopening.  Please check your email, voicemail, and be prepared to hear from our school & district about what to expect (phone, regular mail correspondence, etc.).

You will likely be invited to an online parent meeting hosted by our principal, Mr. Moore, in the very near future.  I HIGHLY recommend that families attend one of these meetings once they're announced (I'll continually update this page with a link as new information becomes known).  Mr. Moore will have a thorough explanation of how Dayton School plans to move forward with reopening, will answer questions, and will be able to provide you with all necessary information.

For more immediate concerns, please email Mr. Moore at [email protected].

I sympathize with families experiencing frustration on not knowing all the details related to the impending change in instruction.  I experience a great deal of frustration myself as I have to change and adapt my teaching on a nearly daily basis to accommodate all the new things being presented to our teaching staff each day.

With so many things developing in such rapid succession, I humbly ask that you remain patient with us as we work to attend to the latest changes.

Thank you. 

Be well.  Stay safe.

Mr. Olsen

Hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break!

BOOKS FOR DAYTON TIGERS!

Our staff has prepared a bag with a few books for all of our Dayton Tigers to read at home! We are excited to get these books in our students’ hands. We have arranged to distribute these books from the traffic loop in front of the school.

Please know that we are continuing to follow strict district social distancing guidelines provided to us by the county health department. As much as we would love to say HELLO, we are unable to accept any visitors on campus. The campus, including all classrooms and the office, will be closed.

All book pickups will occur in the Dayton Traffic loop in front of the school during the designated days/times below.

Here are the Book Pickup Days/Times

Monday, March 15th – 1pm-3pm

Friday, Match 19th – 9am-11am

When arriving at the school, please follow these guidelines:

· We ask that parents arrive by car and drive through the traffic loop in front of the school.

· Please make a sign to place on the right side of your car’s front windshield window with: 

Your student’s GRADE LEVEL and TEACHER NAME in BIG, BOLD, LETTERS

· A staff member will place your child’s bag of books on a table at the end of the traffic loop. You will have to get out of your car to pick-up the items from the table.

A few things to keep in mind:

· Please remain patient throughout this process and we will do our best to keep the car line moving smoothly.

· If you are unable to come to the school during our scheduled distribution, please contact your child’s teacher or you can email the principal, Mr. Moore: [email protected]
