From the Principal. . .

Dear Phelps Luck Families,

 

As you may be aware, the Board of Education voted earlier this week on a plan for students to return to school in a hybrid-model.  We will share updates as new information becomes available.  You should have received an email today so that you can select options for your child(ren).  Please complete the survey by Friday, February 5th.  Below is a link to the HCPSS website where other details are shared that can help you as you make your decisions.

Also, this newsletter has important information regarding parent conferences on February 10th and 11th, Quarter 2 grading, and the MAP Assessment.  Please review it carefully and contact me at michelle_leader@hcpss.org with any questions!

Sincerely,

Michelle M. Leader

Principal

Conference Information

Directions to Select a Conference Time (Scheduling Open 1/29/21 – 2/5/21):

February 10th and 11th are designated for Parent Teacher Conferences.  We will be holding 20 minute conferences. Parent Teacher Conferences are a terrific opportunity for staff and parents to partner together for each child’s success.  All conferences will be held virtually with your child’s Math teacher.  Your child’s Math teacher will be sending out specifics about this.  We encourage you to use your child’s chromebook and login using your child’s credentials. 

Once you click on the link, you will be put in a “holding space” until the teacher admits you.  Because many conferences will be back-to-back, please only log on one minute before your designated time.  If you have technology challenges, check Dojo or email as your child’s teacher will reach out to you that way.

Beginning Friday, January 29th at 8 am, you can log into HCPSS Connect  to view and select from the time slots provided by the teacher for the conference.  If you do not have access to HCPSS Connect, please call the school for assistance at 410-313-6886.
