Dear Wolfe Families –

 

Center Line Public Schools is committed to providing continual learning and personal support for our students throughout the rest of this academic school year.  Our students may not be in our buildings; however, learning doesn’t stop.  We have worked diligently to develop remote learning classrooms that will continue to provide your children instruction and feedback about their progress so that students are prepared and on track when they re-enter their school buildings in the fall.

 

We ask that you ensure your student has connected with their Google classrooms and participate in the learning. All teachers will update their Google classrooms on Monday mornings. It is important for students to check their student email for updates daily. 

 

It is important that you bring checked out items back to school such as library books, textbooks, calculators, and classroom paperback books.  If a Chromebook, charging cord and hotspot was checked out to you, please return them at this time unless your child will be participating in summer school.  

 

As you arrive at school, please drive into the circle drive and proceed forward as the line of cars allows.  If your child is accompanying you, it is important that both of you remain in your car at all times and a staff member will assist you.  We look forward to seeing you and your child, but it is important that we practice safe social distancing measures at this time.  

 

 

If any issues occur with your powerschool account or student’s Google account, for example your student is unable to log onto their account, please contact Mrs. Mary Bliss (blissm@clps.org or 586-510-2300, option 3). 

 

Quarter 4 Outlook :  Beginning the week of April 20, 2020, teachers will post weekly learning goals, tasks, and instructional lessons.  All assignments can be digitally submitted or turned in upon our return. For this current instructional time, students who complete their work will receive credit (CR) in their subject areas/courses instead of traditional letter or number grades.  Students who do not complete the learning tasks will receive no credit (NC) on their report cards in those subject areas/courses.

 

 

Food Distribution: We are providing breakfast and lunch Tuesdays and Thursdays to our students during the mandatory shutdown.  Families may pick up food from 10:30-11:30 am at the following sites:  Center Line High School, Crothers Elementary, Peck Elementary, Roose Elementary with a pick up at Transportation & Maintenance and parking lot by Rising Stars Academy (previously Miller Elementary). An adult or older sibling may take food for the entire family of enrolled students in the district.  School of choice students may go to any of the buildings listed to pick up meals for that day. 

 

Enrichment Activities: We have provided a list of enrichment activities below for students to complete during this shutdown.  These activities will allow students to explore a wide variety of topics such as nature, cooking, reading, etc. Students are encouraged to share their experiences on social media (Facebook or Twitter) with the hashtag #Wolfe #LoveCLPS @SchoolWolfe.  Additionally, journaling of their experiences is highly encouraged – journals can be requested at 586-510-2300 option 3 or Roperj@clps.org.  Students who have participated in the journaling process or have used the hashtags will be entered to win one of many prizes!
