Back-to-School Night is scheduled for Wednesday, September 1, 2021. The program will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  This is an open house drop-in format where you will have the opportunity to briefly view your child’s classroom(s) and meet his/her teacher(s).

In order to minimize the number of people in the classrooms at one time, we are asking that parents visit the school anytime during their designated time period, as teachers will not be delivering formal presentations. Additionally, children are asked to stay home. 

• Families with the last names A through L are asked to participate from  4:00 to 4:45.
• Families M-Z are asked to participate from 5:15 to 6:00. 

While in the building we ask that you follow these mitigation strategies:

• Please practice social distancing and respect other individuals’ preferences, including those of our teachers.
• Monitor your own health prior to attending the event. If you are experiencing any COVID-related symptoms, please do not attend.

If you have specific concerns related to your child, please contact his/her teacher at a later time to schedule an appointment. 

Beginning on Tuesday, January 5^th until at least Wednesday, January 13^th, our Academic Support Team (AST) will be involved with school-wide Reading Assessments (“Acadience” – formerly known as “DIBELS”). We will not see our 2:00 and 2:50 reading support groups during this time. Several 5^th and 6^th graders have two support times. This means that most students will miss one group, but will still meet with the other one; so they will get support during most testing days. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me:

Thank you,

Miss Patrice O’Brien

Parents—we are seeking your help so your child can get the best virtual learning experience during our virtual Wednesday sessions.  Teachers are planning lessons for online learning on Wednesdays, and we ask that all students approach these days with the educational commitment as if they were in the classroom.  We recognize that this is new and NOT how we wish it could be, but our teachers are committed to providing quality instruction during these times.   Here are reminders about appropriate conduct during a google meet with CM teachers:

Children should be in front of their laptops, seated and ready to learn.

Cameras should be on at all times during the session for all children during the lesson.

Students should pick one location to remain for the duration of the lesson.  This location should be an appropriate learning space.   

If children need to leave camera for a restroom break or another reason, they need to ask permission from their teacher to leave the meet or turn their camera off.

Messages sent to the chat during the lesson are reserved for instructional purposes ONLY.

Children should refrain from eating while on their meets. Please use the break time between subjects if a snack is needed.

Work space should be free of pets and toys since these are distracting to our learners.

Parents are encouraged to support their learner at home, but to not actively participate in the lessons.   

Moving forward, Mr. Malek and Mrs. Suydam ask all grade 3-6 students to show Central Manor leadership during online learning sessions. We plan to visit your virtual sessions this Wednesday. Thank you for helping us as we navigate these new online lessons.
