Distant Learning Checkin Time

The middle school teachers are committed to our students. Each hour they will be signing into their Google Classroom and will open a Google Meet video conference. We hope to record these conferences and post them to the teacher's pages for students who miss them. Please be sure to check in with your classroom teacher at the scheduled meeting time.




 Good Afternoon, This is Mr. Joachim, Principal of Springdale MIddle School.  

I want to begin by sharing my appreciation for all the students and parents who attended conferences last week.  If you have not yet met with our teaching team, please give me a call at 258.4738 to schedule your conference.

This week is our first week of distance learning; this is certainly not how we wanted to start the new school year.  However, our teachers are ready.  They will be posting content to their Google Classrooms and will be hosting online lessons throughout the week.  Additionally, teachers will be calling students for weekly mentor check-ins.  As a district, we will be providing weekly deliveries of printed homework and resources on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and each Wednesday, we will be delivering meals.  This Thursday will be our first homework delivery day.  

Please be sure to review our school website or Facebook page to learn more about connecting during our distant learning phase..  

Finally, our new Chromebooks have arrived, been updated, and are ready to be picked up.  If you are one of the families who needs the new Chromebook, please stop by the office to pick it up between 8:30 AM and 3:00 PM

I hope that everyone is able to make this first week of distance learning a great week.

I hope to see you soon,

Mr. Joachim
