Rural Special: The next and last set of AMI work has been posted to the website. Thanks DeWyn Avey🤗 Paper copies will not be available this time as some paper copies still have not reached all students (district wide). Students may access them on a phone, tablet, computer etc. Smart phones and any other internet device can now connect to various WiFi hotspots around the county including the school parking lot. Work may be submitted via google drive (best way) or pictures may be taken and sent to your childs teacher’s email (2nd best option) or via text or messenger. Students may also choose to do them on a regular piece of paper. Drop off bins will be placed outside the high school front doors Mon-Thur 8am-1pm for drop off. Please have all work in an envelope or folder with the students name and teacher on the outside of it. But again, if possible please submit work electronically just to help keep down germs. Hope to see everyone tomorrow at Lunch Pickup.
RURAL SPECIAL, First and foremost we hope you are doing well and enjoying spring time in Arkansas. I know many of you have questions about AMI so hopefully this helps along with the live feed videos we’ve been doing. For Rural Special elementary there is a direct link on the school's website for your child to access their Google account where the AMI packets have been shared. If your child does not know their email address or password K-2 students need to talk with your child's classroom teacher to gain this information while 3rd-6th grade students need to contact Mrs. Avey or Mrs. Berry so that their passwords may be reset. All AMI packets have also been emailed and shared with every student in their Google accounts (k-6). Students requesting paper copies of the AMI packets will have two options for pickup days. Pickup will be Thursday from 11am-1pm with plastic tubs sitting outside the high school building. Packets will have each child's name clearly identified on them. The second option for obtaining AMI packets is Monday during breakfast and lunch pickup. At this time all submissions will be electronic. Students may turn in their work via their Google drive or students and parents may take a picture of the assignment with their smart phone or tablet and email the work to their teachers. High school students have the same options for paper packets; however those doing AMI electronically, packs have either been shared via Google or the teacher will be using Google classroom. More information can be found at www.RuralSpecial.com Thank you for your patience as we all work through this together.
Remember, most importantly take this time to enjoy some extra days with your children. If you find yourself or your child getting frustrated, set it to the side and come back to it later. Smile, laugh and make memories.
Respectfully
--
Shelia Mitchell, Elementary Principal
Rural Special Elementary
