Snow Day Packets

Snow Day Packets went home with students today! There were several different pieces of paper that are coming home: a letter to you explaining the packets and a blue piece of paper explaining what students are to do on each snow day. The assignments page is located in the back of the student's blue folder. They have been told it needs to remain there. If students reported that they have internet access at home, they were given assignments to do on studyladder.com using a log-in that is unique to them. If students said they do not have a internet, they were given a paper packet. Each snow day, students have an assignment for reading, math, and science; students will receive extra points for the completed work. Below is the assignment list for students completing the online snow day activities.
