Back to all remote learning😞.  I was able to check in this morning with all my BLUE day students.  I will do the same tomorrow with GOLD students.  If you missed my visit, here is the replay....

This is a short week, you only have a PE assignment this week.  Please remember to submit your google form on Wednesday and TURN IN the assignment in google classroom so it is not marked as "missing".  Mid term progress reports are due to Mrs. Halloran on Friday, December 4th.  Please make sure you turn in any missing assignments you may have (for partial credit).  If a majority of your work is missing, I will send emails through Genesis stating this to your parents/guardians.  Next week you will have Health and PE assignments to complete.  All Health and PE assignments will continue to be posted and completed through google classroom.  If you have questions or are struggling with anything, please email me (rhart@oxfordcentral.org).  I will send you a google meet link and we can work through it and get the work completed.  I am here to help you!!!  And did I forget to mention......when your teachers tell you the school day is over- GET OUTSIDE FAR, FAR, AWAY from any technology.  Your eyes and brain need a break.....it is a beautiful day.  Get out and enjoy it!

 Happy American Education Week to all my colleagues!

 

... observed in all communities annually for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.  Festivities honor the team of people who work in our nation’s public schools, everyone from the bus driver and classroom teacher to the cafeteria worker and administrative staff, plus countless others.

I hope you all had a restful, long weekend!!!  This week is the start of our 6th week being back at school.  Please make sure you are turning in your assignments.  Credit is given for assignments that are turned in late.  Remember, even though we have in-person PE, assignments on-line are still required to meet the NJ guidelines for Health and PE.  Health is all on-line!  If you don't turn in health assignments we have no way to grade you.  First marking period ends October 23, 2020.  

The weather is beginning to change.  We do not have the gym to teach in.  Check the weather report and be prepared for class OUTSIDE!!!   Extra layers, even a hat and gloves may be appropriate as we move through October into November.  

As always, any questions or concerns please reach out to us vial email.  We can set up a virtual meeting if needed.  Have a great week OCS!
