Deerfield Families, Good evening. As we all prepare to make the shift to eLearning for the rest of the week (1/19-1/21), I hope the following information will be helpful. Teachers will post eLearning lessons in their Google Classrooms by 9:00 a.m. each day. Our office will be open on Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for families who need to pick up a Chromebook or other necessary items. Your child’s teacher will offer two Zoom meeting times daily. These are NOT required. They are simply opportunities for your child to get some help or ask questions. You can also email your child’s teacher or send a message in Google Classroom if you have questions about eLearning lessons. We look forward to seeing students back at school on Monday, 1/24.

Deerfield Families, We're excited to announce we've been working with the Randolph County YMCA to offer their Kids Club after school program here at Deerfield on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Classroom Connections of ECI, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, will be giving books to your students during tomorrow’s Drive-Up Food Pantry at Deerfield (3:15-4:15). Students will get to pick their very own books to keep forever to help build your family's home library. Book ownership is one of the most important ways to get your child to read at grade level and to build a love for reading. Tips: - Reading aloud together with your child is a great way to build a child's love for reading. - Try taking turns reading sentences or pages aloud together. - You can play word hunt games while reading, such as asking your child to find words that start with a particular letter. Try asking questions about what is being read. - Designate a least one place in the home to serve as a home library, such as a designated shelf, basket, or drawer for books. - Try ending each day with reading time. Thank you Classroom Connections of ECI and Second Harvest Food Bank!

Deerfield Families, Students sometimes handle Chromebooks in ways that result in damage. If you have not yet paid your child's Chromebook insurance to begin coverage, remember to do so asap. If you declined that insurance, it's not too late to change your mind. Call our office for more information.

Check out these SPIRIT DAYS coming soon at Deerfield! https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTHwqOfLTf5iM_80oxqFWVOvitfgaxMdcNJn2pVzQxqTB22ixdjm8Zd5YHUbk9qionLVpJ8NWiEp1h5/pub
