IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRINICPAL, MRS. SHANNON

Out of an abundance of precaution, Connections Academy East will be closed effective Monday, March 16, thru Tuesday, April 7, 2020.  School will resume on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. Connections Academy East will be implementing eLearning days and students should access their teachers’ Google Classroom on Monday, March 16th for assignments they are to work on.  Additional information will be posted on the Connections Academy East website for parents in the eLearning section.

 

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY:

While participating in eLearning, the staff at the Connections Academy East  will only access their e-mail and voicemail communications during the following hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30am - 2:30pm.  Outside of these hours, e-mail and voicemail communications with school staff are not to be used for emergency purposes. In the event of an emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room for assistance

We are committed to keeping students engaged in their learning during this statewide school closure. Connections Academy East will be providing students with work digitally if it has been determined they have adequate access to internet/device OR students will be mailed paper-assignments. Teacher, therapist and other related service staff will be in contact throughout the week via phone, email and possible web conferencing in an effort to provide continuity of services.  Our team is planning on maintaining current schedule for IEP meetings, however, this will occur via conference phone during the school closing period. 

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Monday, March 16 - Friday, March 20:  A week of eLearning for all students.

Monday, March 23 - Friday, March 27:  Spring Break

Monday, March 30 - Tuesday, April 7:  eLearning for all students.

We will continue to inform you as quickly as we can about any further changes to school services. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Elaina Shannon, Principal at eshannon@connectionsacademyeast.net or Brad Piech, Assistant Principal at bpiech@connectionsacademyeast.net with questions.

As we make decisions going forward, we will be reviewing the ever-evolving information regarding coronavirus, consulting with health officials, and communicating future plans. We will continue to follow CDC and other epidemiological recommendations which support preventative measures to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus in our community. It bears repeating that we have not been notified of any school or community member who has been diagnosed with this virus.   We will continue to share updated information as it becomes available. 

We appreciate your partnership, and we will get through this together.
