Administration

Greetings Parents & Guardians,

Registration opened July 27 and the staff is eager to meet the children and families of Stricker Elementary.  Due to the dynamic conditions with Covid, we are thoroughly planning for both remote and in-person classes.   Of course, the staff all have their fingers crossed that we will open with as much face to face instruction time as allowed.  

This year, we aim to have consistency across grade levels when we are remote.  K-3 staff will all be using See-Saw as their learning management software, while 4th and 5th will be utilizing both See-Saw and Canvas.  We also are planning to engage our students with frequent remote meetings through TEAMS.  While it's always better to have the kids in class, the online meetings are going to be the next best thing.

Finally, we still believe that students’ well-being is much more important than any academic content. Our ultimate goal is not only to find a way to deliver instruction, but to find a means to provide some stabilizing activities during this time.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be helpful in anyway.

Thanks,

Steve Hill, Principal

Stricker Elementary

Common Concerns:

• If you are needing help with registration, please email Mrs. Owens to set up a face to face time to get help.  mowens@kimberly.edu
• Class lists are still under construction.  We will post these much closer to the first day of school
• Supply lists are found under the Stricker Website --> Resources.  https://www.kimberly.edu/ses/stricker-school-supply-lists-2020-21
• Determining school opening or remote: This is such a difficult time for working parents of elementary school aged children.  Our decisions will come from working with South Central Public Health (SCPH).  We will alert parents immediately of a switch in school format. "Green" to "Yellow" to "Red" 
  • "Green:"   Monday through Thursday face to face.  Fridays remote.
  • "Yellow:"  All remote with small groups of children/staff allowed in building briefly for meetings/instruction
  • "Red:"      No face to face meetings: complete remote instruction
• Masks: Currently, no mandate has been set. The board will revisit this topic at the meeting August 6.
