Principal’s Message – At Home Learning

Published on

Sunday, March 15, 2020

Dear Hayden Peak Parents,

As you know, the Governor announced on Friday that all public schools in Utah will be dismissed beginning Monday, March 16, for a period of two weeks. This is a pre-emptive measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). This means that Hayden Peak, along with all schools in Jordan School District, will not be in session and no students will attend in person from March 16 – 29, 2020.

It is important for parents to know the following:

**AT- HOME LEARNING WILL BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2020 **

Attendance Incentives

  1. Hayden Peak’s monthly attendance incentives will be suspended for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year.

Breakfast and Lunch

  1. Breakfast and lunch will continue to be available, for pick-up only, starting Wednesday, March 18, 2020.
  2. Students should enter the lunchroom through the lunchroom door. This is the same door they use for breakfast or to exit to the playground each day after lunch.  Important Note:  Students will take their lunch home as we are practicing social distancing. They cannot stay and play on the playground or fields as there will be no supervision outside.

Pick-Up Breakfast times:  7:30 am – 9:00 am

Pick-Up Lunch times:  11:30 am – 1:00 pm

Student Learning Will Continue at Home

  1. Teacher Preparation - Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17 will be used as planning days for teachers and staff and staff to further prepare for at-home learning.  At home learning will begin on Wednesday, March 18, 2020.
  2. What will learning look like? Teachers will be contacting students and families to let them know what  learning will look like for their students while school is not in session.  Learning can come in many ways  including online learning, emailing assignments, providing class materials that can be picked up from school at arranged times, emailing packet to students, using software programs, etc.

Internet Access and Access to an Electronic Device

  1. For students who do not have access to a device at home, a parent may come in and check-out an electronic device from the school.
