REPORT CARDS:
This message is to inform you that there has been a change to the report card schedule. Report cards were originally scheduled to be sent home tomorrow, Friday, January 8th. However, report cards will now be sent home with students next Tuesday, January 12th due to an error printing report cards from our Skyward grading system. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your interest in your child’s education.
This is a reminder that tomorrow, Monday, January 4th is an optional teacher in-service day. Students will not attend tomorrow.
Tuesday, January 5th will be the first day back for students. Students will return to the buildings for in-person learning as originally planned.
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable break! We are excited to see our students again!
As we come to the end of this unusual and unprecedented year we are reminded of our blessings and ever more thankful for our students and their families. They alone are the purpose behind everything we do. This year may have presented many troubles but we take solace in the knowledge that the future is bright in the hands of our students.
We wish our students, staff, and families a Merry Christmas and blessed New Year! May you cherish your time with loved ones and may your new year be filled with joy!

REMINDER - LEARNING EXPECTATIONS FOR VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION:
Families and students should understand that these virtual instruction days will be more rigorous than what was provided in the spring. Students are expected to continue completing assignments and learning activities and will be assigned grades as determined by the teacher.
While we encourage students to complete work during normal school hours we understand this may not be possible due to changes in child care and family schedules. Teachers are providing online work, video recordings, and other assignments that can be completed at the pace that works best for your student and family. However, ALL assignments will be DUE back to your teachers by Wednesday, December 9th.
Teachers will be making daily contact with students and families to offer help and support where needed. Teachers and staff will still be on campus between 8:00am-3:00pm during these days if you or your student needs assistance. You may contact Spencer Elementary at (931) 946-2171 or Van Buren County High School at (931) 946-2442.
