Core & Encore Team Updates
Team Lafayette (6th) (Twitter @NMSLafayette Team Leader Mrs. Hackman) The second semester is in full swing. Keep reading your Overdrive books, and bring your library books with you when you return classes will be going back to the library. We are moving to learning about Egypt for SS, so take some time looking up cool stuff about ancient Egypt to gain some background information. Enjoy your time in the snow, and we look forward to seeing you all again this week!
Team Lehigh (6th) (Twitter @NMSTeamLehigh/ Facebook @NitschmannTeamLehigh Team Leader Mrs. Oliver)
Communication Is Crucial! One of the keys to success for your child is communication; not only between us and the students but also between us and the parents. With the volume of students we have, our main source of communication is via email. We send frequent emails to both students and parents to update you on what is going on, notify you of missing assignments and/or low grades, commend students for good work, and to offer optional help/zooms. Several things you can do to improve communication: 1) Be sure your son/daughter is checking their school email daily; 2) be sure that we have correct email addresses on file for you, and 3) have our email addresses marked that they do not go to spam or junk mail (we often send bulk emails and if our address are not marked they may go to spam). Our email addresses are (joliver@basdschools.org ,shriniak@basdschools.org, adruckenmiller@basdschools.org and jfritzinger@basdschools.org )
As we entered the third quarter with a snow storm and several virtual days we noticed that many kids fell behind on their work already. For those that are struggling to get work done at home, we can arrange for them to come in before and/or after school on their at school days to give them extra time to get their assignments complete.. Please let us know if you would like your child to take advantage of this opportunity as this may become a requirement for students who we see are continuously not getting their work completed. Everyone Be Safe and Stay Well!!!!!

We are available before and after school. Talk to your teacher if you would like to work on any assignments during those times. Please continue monitoring your grades by checking Schoology. Make sure you are looking at M3 and not the overall grade.
