Week of Aug. 10th-15th

 Greetings families and welcome to week 2 of Distance Learning!  Thank you for taking the time to join us at our Virtual Open House and Meet the Teacher events.  It was so nice to connect with all of you.  It has been a delight to see the eagerness of our scholars to meet their teachers, see their classmates and get back to learning. 

Our weekly blog will be updated every Monday.  Please read the blog on a weekly basis for important classroom information and a look at what your scholar will be studying.

The best way to contact me is through email.  Please include your scholar’s name in the email and copy Mrs. Villalvazo.  Our email addresses are listed below.

TMoreno@archwaytriviumeast.org

NVillalvazo@archwaytriviumeast.org

 

Zoom

Please have scholars ready with their materials, in a quiet place and in uniform before their start time.

All daily live Zoom sessions will take place under the same meeting ID and passcode.  You can find the direct link in Google Classroom under the stream tab. 

 

Just a reminder to please make sure the Zoom display name matches the enrolled students name to ensure our meeting room is secure.  Admittance might not be granted if the teacher cannot verify the student is in their class.

 

Mrs. Moreno’s Office Hours:

 

I mentioned that I would be available for office hours this week.  This time is designated for questions that would benefit the group, tutorials to trouble shoot common technology issues, Google Classroom questions or confirmation, and reminders.  If there is a personal concern or circumstance that you would like to share, please email me directly and I can give you a personal response or phone call.

Attendance

During this period of distance learning, attendance is required by state law for all registered Archway Trivium East students. You will indicate your child's attendance by their participation in live sessions and by acknowledging their daily attendance through an attestation form in the Google Classroom. We know not all families will be able to attend live regularly, and this attestation form will be essential to mark that your child watched their recorded sessions.

 

If your child will be absent, it is the parent/guardian's responsibility to call the school attendance line before 8:15 AM to report an absence by leaving a message.

Archway Trivium East Attendance Line:  623-218-6607
