Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we prepare for the first day of school on 9/3/2020, we would like to provide you with some important information:
1) Parents who requested Chromebooks via the online Re-Entry Application will be able to pick them up on Monday, 8/31/2020, from the MHS main office as follows:
9:00 am to 10:00 am for grade 6
10:00 am to 11:00 am for grade 7
11:00 am to 12:00 pm for grade 8
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm for grades 9 and 10
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm for grades 11 and 12
Attached to my email today, please find a copy of the Parent/Student Agreement form that must be completed
and submitted when picking up a Chromebook. This form along with payment in cash or check of $25.00 per
Chromebook should be submitted at the time of pick up. Checks can be made out to the South Amboy Board of
Education. If you do not print, sign and date the form ahead of time, we will have blank copies at the school.
For pickup: if weather allows we may be set up outside the MHS main entrance. If not, we will distribute with
parents entering our foyer, one at a time, and exchange paperwork, payment and Chromebooks using our
drawer.
While on school property, we ask that everyone wear a mask and maintain proper social distancing.
2) The first day of school, 9/3/2020, will begin at 8:13 am virtually. That is when homeroom/first period for all students begins. Students are required to sign in to each class period on time; just as if they were attending class in school.
3) On 9/3/2020, all students in grades 7 through 12 will have a virtual orientation meeting with administration that afternoon scheduled as follows: (All students have had the appropriate Google invite sent to their school email address)
Grade 7 at 1:00 pm
Grade 8 at 1:00 pm
Grade 9 at 1:20 pm
Grade 10 at 1:20 pm
Grade 11 at 1:40 pm
Grade 12 at 1:40 pm
4) Attached to my earlier email please find helpful information from our Local YMCA and the Dowdell Library about their program offerings.
5) If you have not already, please find your child’s schedule using Parent Access via Genesis. On Wednesday, 9/2/2020, you and your child can use the schedule to find all of his/her teachers. Then please go to our school website and locate each of your child’s teachers’ pages. There you will find a tab titled, “Google Classroom Codes.” These codes will be used to allow your child access to each of his/her classes.
If you have any questions, please email us at the school.
Thank you,
Dr. McCabe
