Bakersville Families,
I am seeing a great deal of success with students who have been able to connect online with teachers throughout the day today and are working on assignments in their Google Classroom and/or on what was sent home with them yesterday, in some cases--either is fine.
Of note: some staff are experiencing intermittent power outages so if they do get disconnected, check back later into the Google Classroom and/or have your child or children continue working on his or her assignments as prescribed.
Although we have already asked and surveyed, if you somehow did not get our many messages throughout this school year about a take home device (ECF chrome book devices) please reach out to me if your student should require a chrome book for at home use going forward: kjosef@mansd.org.
Thank you for your continued collaboration, communication and support. Stay safe in this storm!
Principal Josef
