This year because of social distancing, the teachers are not permitted to speak with parents outside in the school yard at dismissal. You may email me at s.paccione@olqpsi.com and I will get back to you as prompt as I can or we can set up a zoom conference if necessary.

VERY IMPORTANT: Attendance Policy keep in mind, as stated in the handbook, students must be sick in order to go remote for the day... you are not allowed to just choose to go remote because you feel like it or the weather is bad....Please see the student handbook or contact Mrs. O'Connor or the office if you have any concerns or further questions about this.
You must have a Covid PCR test (NOT RAPID) upon return after being out 3 or more consecutive days. You will not be allowed in class if you don't have documentation. Please follow all directions given in Iris alerts sent from Mrs. O'Connor regarding this.
See attached information from our parent/student handbook:
Attendance (E.5, E.6) In the State of New York, full-time education is compulsory from age six to age 16. Regular attendance is the responsibility of the child(ren)’s parent or guardian Excused Absence: A child is legally absent from school for the following reasons: sickness, sickness or death in the family, impassable roads or extreme weather; all other absences are unexcused. If a child is absent for three or more consecutive days, they must return with a doctor’s note. During the time that schools are governed under the Moving Forward Together document and schools are participating in remote learning, students who are absent due to illness may participate in the entire school day via remote learning. • If a student remains home due to illness and is able to participate via remote learning for the entire school day, parents must write to the school informing the principal that the student is ill but will be participating remotely. The note from the parent must be sent prior to the start of the school day. • The student will be marked present (remote) if the student participates remotely for the entire school day. • If the student is unable to participate for the entire school day, the student will be marked absent.

ELA:Test Taking Tips for Students
-
Come up with an answer BEFORE looking at the answer choices.
-
Read ALL of the answer choices first before eliminate the ones that don’t make sense.
-
Look for negative words in questions:
-
What is the opposite of …..
-
Which one is not included….
-
All of these happened except…
-
For vocabulary questions, read the sentence with all the word choices offered and eliminate those that do not make sense or sound right.
-
Look for key words such as first, then, next, then, finally and after when sequencing events.
-
If asked about cause and effect, look for key words such as since, because, as a result of and therefore.
-
The main idea of a passage is often at the very beginning and it may be stated again at the very end.
-
Do not leave any answers blank. If you’re not sure, make an educated guess.
-
Skip the questions you don’t understand. Fill in your best guess, then mark the question and come back to it later.
SUMMARIZE: Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then (remember to use this strategy when working on summary questions)
-
Gentle Reminders
- Tuesday test folders- YELLOW FOLDERS must be returned the next day. You are to also empty them out. Please remember to sign the front sheet as well.
- Art supplies need to be in clear ziplock bag every day.
- Heading in notebooks and on looseleaf paper:
Name_____________________________ Grade_____________________
Subject:___________________________ Date:_____________________
- Please check the website every night. Homework is written in our agendas on a daily basis.
