Tracking Attendance
The Vermont Agency of Education has provided us with the following guidance around tracking student attendance: “Students who make some form of contact with their classroom teacher or other instructional staff in a day should be counted as present for that day.” All schools in OSSU will be recording attendance and following up on ‘absences’ as we normally would. Please work with your child’s homeroom teacher on what forms of contact will qualify as attendance for the day.
Meals
Just a reminder, we will be delivering meals three days a week: 2 lunches and 2 breakfasts on Mondays and Wednesdays each; and 1 lunch and 1 breakfast on Fridays. Pick up will also be the same three days. To apply for meals you can click on the link. https://docs.google.com/forms/
Physical Education Update
I will be posting different activities for students on the physical education at home website Mondays and Wednesdays. You will also find the link for students to document their physical activity twice a week there. I hope you are all well! https://sites.google.com/a/

We can also link you up with any resources that are available locally for assistance.
