Dear Parents,
In light of the recent closure of our schools, and because many of you have requested an opportunity to reconsider online learning, we are re-opening registration for our virtual program, Edgenuity. If you choose this option for your child(ren), you must commit to this program for nine weeks for elementary students and the entire first semester for middle and high school students.
Our bus drivers will also be providing hot spots for Wi-Fi connections in remote areas during school hours August 13-25. We will begin posting those locations in order for students to have access points. Passwords will be emailed directly to student accounts. If you need further help with this please message wildcathelp@schleyk12.org or call 229-937-2405. Hotspots at each school and the Board of Education are available now.
An application for virtual learning can be found on the district and school websites or by following this link: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/851390/Virtual_Learning_Program_Application__extended_.pdf The deadline for returning these applications is August 19, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. You may begin turning those applications in today, and each day, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Board of Education, or you may email them to wildcathelp@schleyk12.org.

Great job Ms. Williams! Overcoming obstacles everyday! Check her out!

Virtual Students,
We are noticing that some of you are quickly going through and taking the first test/quiz. Please know we will only reset the test one additional time. You will need to take your time and concentrate just like you do for any test/quiz at school. Thank you!

Students...Attendance is being taken for all distance learning classes that are held Live. Being absent for distance learning will affect your exemption status for exams. Also, failure to submit distance learning assignments will affect your exemption status.
Students please pay attention to your email/Microsoft Teams account/Remind as your teachers will communicate with you about when Live lessons will be and the set time. Set times will be during the period/block that you have your teacher during In-Person Instruction. Thank you!

Student taking Dual Enrollment classes at GSW this semester, books will be delivered to SCHS by Monday, August 17. Classes begin tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12. Instructors are aware of the delay in delivery of books. If you have any questions or concerns please email David Jenkins at david.jenkins@gsw.edu

Due to recent increases in Covid cases within the county and our schools, along with the required quarantines of family members, we are closing schools to students beginning tomorrow, for a period of at least 14 days. Students who have been attending school on campus will receive instructions from their teacher(s) for distance learning over the next two weeks.
Students who began virtual instruction today on Edgenuity should continue their work. Teachers and administrators will be in contact with you regarding your progress in the days to come.
Notifications will continue to go out through Remind and announcements will continue to be published on Facebook.
We are disappointed, to say the least, to have to make this decision, but it is in the best interest of the health of our students and faculty. Please continue to practice the recommended guidelines from the CDC by social distancing and wearing masks so that we can all return to school as soon as possible.

Parents,
Directions in Infinite Campus to take virtual school attendance video can be found at https://www.infinitecampus.com/video/covid-19-student-option-student-video
We are taking attendance once per day rather than the once per course from the video. This process records your child's daily attendance.
We apologize for the delay in Edgenuity. As soon as they have us online we will send you notification. Please check Facebook or website for more information.

For the first day of school, all MS students should report to their homeroom teacher. HS students should report to their 1st block class. Please make sure you login to Infinite Campus to know where you need to go for the first day. If you do not know your Infinite Campus login, someone will be at the door to help you on the first day.
