NO APRIL BREAK -Happy Patriots Day Weekend! -

The APS School Committee voted to cancel the April vacation. What that means for
your child is that the remote learning plan will continue next week, except that
tomorrow, Monday, April 20th, Patriot's Day, is a state holiday, which will be
observed.

Remote Learning Hours and Routines Will Resume Tuesday, the 21st.

Hello, Bishop Families ~ I had the pleasure of connecting with families this past
week. Conversations ranged from birthday wishes, teacher/staff appreciation, how to
connect to a teacher’s Google Classroom, accessing students’ Spyponders accounts,
general check-ins, and the status of Arlington Public Schools Remote Learning Plan
moving forward. I appreciate these conversations and look forward to more in the
weeks to come!

I understand that families are waiting for the APS to ramp up the Remote Learning
Plan as our school closure continues. You can expect a new, revised phase, if
Governor Baker extends this closure for the remainder of the year. I cannot speak to
the details of this new phase before it is negotiated with the Teacher’s Union and the
District. I will say, however, that teacher/class engagement will increase, with more
face time included. I will have a detailed update once a decision is made.

I also acknowledge that classrooms are having different experiences than others; this
is to be expected. No two classrooms or teachers are alike. Also, there is something to
be said about implementing a remote learning environment that gives ALL students
access to the general education curriculum. Considerations as such take time to
implement to ensure that all students are receiving a Free and Appropriate Public
school Education

If you have any concerns in regard to your child’s remote learning plan, please start
with your teacher. If you still have concerns or questions, please contact me; I’m here
for you.

Student Progress Reports Accessible Via the Parent Portal in PowerSchool - 2nd
Notice

(Grades 1-5 Only)

Your child’s progress report has been completed and is accessible by signing in to
your Powerschool Parent Portal account. The original date of sharing progress
reports was extended due to the suspension of in-school activities in an effort to
mitigate the spread of Covid-19, which causes the Coronavirus.

To access your child’s progress report, simply navigate to the Powerschool Parent
Portal and sign in with your username and password, and then choose the Grades &
Attendance icon on the left side menu. This is a direct link to the Arlington Parent
Portal: https://aps.powerschool.com/public/

We understand that you may not consistently use the PowerSchool Parent Portal and
are here to help you if there are login issues. If you do not remember your username
or password, please use the Forgot Username or Password link. If you do not have an
account, please contact Bishop Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Gonsalves at
ygonsalves@arlington.k12.ma.us and she will ensure you have a working PowerSchool
login within a timely manner.

Please reach out with any other questions or challenges related to accessing your
parent portal.

Spreading GOODNESS
BISHOP COMMUNITY CARD DRIVE - Bishop Community Outreach

- Beth Laiosa, Bishop Behavior Support Person

Giving school age kids a way to help during a stressful situation or traumatic event
gives them a sense of control and provides reassurance. One way to do this safely
from home is to make greeting cards!

Senior citizens living alone or in assisted care facilities can’t have visitors during
quarantine. A card or drawing from a local child is a great way to lift their spirits. For
Bishop families wishing to contribute, I will leave a drop box at the front door of the
school. I will pick up cards, seal and date in ziplocs and deliver to local senior facilities.

In your cards, include words of encouragement, song lyrics, riddles, jokes, meaningful
quotes or drawings! Duplicates are fine! Cards can be signed with a first name or, “a
friendly neighbor”.

Thanks for making the Bishop Community so special! - Beth L.

I hope this upcoming week is good to you and yours

Mark
