Manatee Virtual School Edition
 
Hello Parents,
One week of Manatee Virtual School under our belts and hopefully everyone survived!  I wanted to update some things that have changed going forward and clarify other item, so here we go…

1. Please don’t forget to have your child sign into FOCUS every day to get credit for their attendance. 
2. All math assignments have been posted to Google Classroom.  Be sure to check for assignments that say “Week 2 MVS” as their prefix.  The easiest way to access them is to use the link ‘Classwork” found on a tab on Google Classroom.  There is also the possibility additional items get added (however, these will always be optional items).
3. If I make additions or changes to Google Classroom, I will record them onto my website under our daily game plan (http://www.zgoncmath.com/daily-game-plan.html).
4. We are leaving ZOOM and moving to Microsoft Team for all future video meetings.  Instructions for adding this program to your child’s Launch Pad can now be found on my Google Classroom.
5. We will no longer have Monday meetings with all 3 teachers.
6. Math meetings will continue to be held (via Microsoft Team) on Tuesdays.  These meetings are 100% optional and will generally be to answer any questions students have with their weekly assignments.  I will be emailing codes and or invitations to this meeting prior to Tuesday.
   1. Mr. Zgonc’s homeroom will be held at 9am.
   2. Miss Schachner’s homeroom will be held at 9:30am
   3. Mr. Bailey’s homeroom will be held at 10am.
7. Math assignments will continue to consist of 45 minutes of My Path on iReady.  The 45 minutes for My Path is a separate grade from the 2 iReady lessons they are also expected to complete.
8. There is also another optional Quizizz this week.
9. Grades will be updated periodically throughout the week.  Your child will receive 3 grades this week.  One based on the expectation of working for 45 minutes on My Path and 2 other grades for their iReady lessons. 
10. Math notes for this week (because we are ahead of where the county expected us to be) should have already been recorded by the students.  Here is the link for math notes: http://www.zgoncmath.com/math-notes-19-20.html

Okay, 10 items should be enough for now.  Remember I am available to answer any questions you have on a daily or weekly basis.  I will be happy to clarify any of my expectations.  Thanks and have a great week.
Mr. Zgonc
