August 3, 2020 Dear Lemoore Union Elementary School Families, We are just a week away from launching our 2020/2021 school year and we are excited to begin this learning journey with you and your student(s). We will be opening this school year with ALL of our students in a Distance Learning Instructional model. The Distance Learning Model being implemented will NOT be the same as the Distance Learning approach we implemented last spring. Your child’s participation is NOT optional or under a “hold harmless” interpretation. Students will be provided with the same rigorous instruction and high level of expectations we provide to each one of our students during our traditional face-to-face instruction. We are committed to ensuring our students continue to receive the quality education our parents expect and our students deserve. Critical updates are noted below as we prepare for our year together: ● Students will be issued their technology device along with hard copy materials/textbooks to support instruction on August 11 & 12. ● School site Principals will provide specific parent information this week related to the school distribution plan. ● Meals will be provided in a grab and go model. Meal service will take place on Tuesday and Thursdays from 11:15am-12:45pm at each of our school sites. University Charter School and Bridges Academy students will have access at our Liberty Middle School campus for meal pick-up. Mobile meal service will be provided at Sunset Vista and Belle Haven at the times noted above. Please make sure to complete all necessary meal service lunch applications. If you have, any questions related to the meal service program, please contact the Child Nutrition Department at 559-925-6294. Meal service will begin on August 11. Distance Learning Standards: ● Each student will be assigned a grade level teacher as well as support staff should the student receive English Language Development (ELD) services, Special Education services or Counseling support. ● Students will be engaged in daily instruction Monday through Friday. Attendance will be taken each day. ● A daily instructional schedule will be provided by your school Principal. ● Students will receive live instruction from their teacher, pre-recorded lessons from the teacher and/or online resources, and allotted time for independent work. ● Students will receive instruction based on the guaranteed and essential standards for their grade level. ● Students will be required to complete/submit assignments, and work will be graded. ● Students will receive a report card each trimester. A virtual parent conference will be implemented to ensure interactions and feedback related to student progress are in place We are confident that together EACH ONE of us will work in partnership to support our precious students in order for them to receive the education they deserve. Critical information will be provided via your site principal and teacher in the coming days. Please make sure to refer to our district and site websites for our 2020/2021 school year critical information as well as phone call communication. We appreciate your continued support as we navigate the new school year with a focus on the health and safety of our students, staff and families. Sincerely, Cheryl Hunt Superintendent https://www.luesd.k12.ca.us/article/279721?org=luesd

Great job last week LUESD Family! We are on week 3 Activity 1! When we are able to return to in person instruction, there will be a list of symptoms for you to review with your child. If your child has any of the symptoms, they will need to stay home. Please review this letter thoroughly. Keeping symptomatic individuals home will be an important part of slowing the spread of this virus. Start practicing this review of symptoms before the start of school so the first day is familiar. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/796641/Parent_Guardian_Daily_COVID-19_Health_Screening_Guide.pdf

IT’S TIME TO ENROLL After School Program OPEN REGISTRATION EXTENDED July 24th – July 31st, 2020 2020/2021 ENROLLMENT Cinnamon, Lemoore, Meadow Lane and Engvall Elementary Schools Incoming students in grades 1st through 6th are eligible to apply for the after school program Complete a pre-registration form TODAY using the links below English: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-2dOcxYD6Q7480nRSwnYC_yqIQx55jUfzoygZxg7Clxhpag/viewform Spanish: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc7HGnxkBN4x00CpBKwch_VP-iKZLLlAmeq4WJ8vOeFRE8VQ/viewform

Activity 5- Take a selfie! Take a picture of your child wearing their mask and ask your family and friends to text pictures of them wearing a mask too. It will help your child build confidence wearing a mask when they see their friends and family also wearing one. Upload it to your facebook with the hashtag #LUESDStrong to be featured on our facebook!

Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 4 - Print out this coloring book (click on link below) and have your child color the pages. Seeing people wearing masks will help them get prepared for all the masked faces they will see. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/796638/mask_coloring_book.pdf

Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 3- Play is a great way for a child to learn. Help your child make masks out of paper, tape, or string for their figurines, stuffed animals, and dolls. Then, pretend play "school" by having your masked friends line up, sit in a classroom, and other pretend school activities. This will help your child get use to the idea of others wearing masks around them.

Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series- Today watch this fun art activity video and draw your own self-portrait with reminders of who you are under your mask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=TgaQUGo3AUM&feature=emb_logo
