Things to Be Aware of and Keep in Mind `

Limited Contact List - We are working with our attendance officer to support and gather more information about the students on the limited contact list. Please make sure to take a look at the list one last time and ensure that it is up to date.
Request from Dr. Tutwiler - I will be posting this parent survey on Class Dojo, and Dr. Tutwiler is asking for support from all of us. This is a survey to gather more information from families as we await guidance from DESE about our re-opening. If you are a parent at LPS, please respond: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/lpsparentsurvey2
ST Math - please remember to encourage families to use this, and let them know that their child's username and password will also be in the materials they pick up.

For your reference: Elizabeth Birie, Mass Math Initiative Program Manager, is our primary contact. You may also request assistance from our Support Team at support@mindresearch.org or 1-888-491-6603.
Here are some reminders about our ST Math launch with rostering:

Resources for families: Please share the following resources with families.
- ST Math Parent Kit
- Please send home the attached document with instructions for:
  - Readying devices for ST Math.
  - Log in instructions.
- Family Webinars
- Make Time for JiJi
- Celebration Calendar
- JiJi Coloring Page
- How to Exit ST Math
Rostering: All student and teacher accounts shared with ST Math will be processed and automation set. For technical assistance with accounts contact our Support Team at support@mindresearch.org or 1-888-491-6603.
Staff Login: Teachers will receive their ST Math account information via email with a link to login at stmath.com.

Summer Reading Books - Unfortunately, there was a problem encountered with the orders, and the summer reading books will not be available next week. Fortunately, Ms. Fitzgerald got us some more books and we have books to distribute.

Feel free to let families know the name of the book that we will be using.
They will be available at our lunch sites over the summer, but families can certainly purchase them or borrow them from libraries if they want to get started early.
It's important for children to know that this reading is expected of them, and will be part of their first week of school next year.

Modules are two hours long
Modules are set up by grade span (K-1 and 2-5)
Multiple dates will be offered
PD sessions are two hours long
One session provides overview to CSC resource
We are very excited about this opportunity and feel providing the PD directly to the teachers while supporting SEL Leadership teams is the most supportive approach. As always, we will be continuously assessing the roll out and are open to feedback.
