Continuing Announcements


Hello IGHMS Families! 

While we continue with Distance Learning we are going to transition to sending weekly announcements rather than daily announcements.  We will send important reminders and special messages that we think are important to you. 

 

We miss seeing our students every day. We hope to be able to see them again before the end of the school year! As of right now the governor’s school shutdown order goes through May 4 so we are hopeful we will see everyone again. 

 

Attendance 

Daily attendance is still required for every student. In order to be marked “present” a student must access Schoology daily.  Attendance will be tracked through Schoology in the counselor’s Morning Message post and each student’s response to that post prompt. Students MUST complete the assignment (1 question) posted by the counselors in the morning meeting to count as attendance for the school day. However, if a student does not appear to be responding or participating at any time during the week, staff will contact the family to determine if there are concerns that must be addressed or additional needs that must be supported. 

If you have attendance questions please contact Jen Moynihan @ [email protected].

If you have questions about how to access the Schoology Counselor Morning Message please contact:

Jennell Garten (A-K)      [email protected]

Brittany Kwallek (L-Z)    [email protected] (Brittany is the long-term sub filling in for Ms. Maloney who is out on maternity leave.)


Office Hours:  Please know that teachers will return emails and phones in a timely manner during their virtual office hours of 9 - 11 am and 1 - 3 pm. on Mondays/Tuesdays & Thursdays/Fridays. They will also be available on Wednesdays between 9:00 am - 12:00 pm to answer students questions and offer support.  It is at each teacher's discretion to offer email responses, phone calls or student help on non-office hours and on weekends.  


¡Hola familias de IGHMS! Mientras continuamos con el aprendizaje a distancia, haremos la transición  para enviar anuncios semanales en lugar de anuncios diarios. Le enviaremos recordatorios importantes

y mensajes especiales que creemos que son importantes para usted.

 

Seguro extrañamos ver a nuestros estudiantes todos los días. ¡Esperamos poder volver a verlos antes del final del año escolar! A partir de ahora, la orden de cierre de la escuela del gobernador se extiende hasta el 4 de mayo, por lo que esperamos verlos a todos nuevamente. 


Asistencia:

La asistencia diaria todavía se requiere de cada estudiante. Para ser marcado como "presente", un estudiante debe acceder a Schoology diariamente. La asistencia se rastreará a través de Schoology en la publicación del mensaje matutino del consejero y la respuesta de cada estudiante a esa publicación. Los estudiantes DEBEN completar la tarea (1 pregunta) publicada por los consejeros en la reunión de la mañana para contar como asistencia para el día escolar. Sin embargo, si un estudiante no parece responder o participar en algún momento durante la semana, el personal se comunicará con la familia para determinar si hay preocupaciones que deben abordarse o necesidades adicionales que deben ser apoyadas. Si tiene preguntas sobre la asistencia, comuníquese con Jen Moynihan @ [email protected]. Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo acceder al Mensaje matutino del consejero de Schoology, comuníquese con:

Jennell Garten (A-K)      [email protected]

Brittany Kwallek (L-Z)    [email protected]  

(Brittany es el suplente a largo plazo para la

Sra. Maloney que está de baja por maternidad.)
