Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 5, all students should return to remote instruction. Teachers will have all assignments, instruction and remote meeting links posted on Google Classroom (or Seesaw for PK) . If you are having trouble using any of the links on your child's IPad, please follow the steps to see if the IPad needs to be reauthenticated.
1. Do a Google Search by clicking on Google Chrome. You can search for anything like "cars" or "sharks".
2. If the screen pops up when you do a search asking for your child's username and password, you need to reauthenticate. Username is: firstname.lastname@atown276.net Password is: graduation yearatown (ex. Kindergarten students use 2033atown) 3. Click on "Log in with Google". If you just click on "Log In" the Authentication will not work. As always, if you continue to have tech issues, please contact the tech help desk at techhelp@atown276.net.
Reminders: 1. Remote Instruction begins on Tuesday. 2. D276 will return to in-person on 1/19. 3. Meal distribution will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Happy holidays from the Avon Campus staff to your families!

During 5th Grade library time, the students viewed a video about matter. One of the experiments, showed that air had mass. The students asked if they could try it and IT WORKED!!. Mrs. McWhorter put tissues in a glass jar and inserted the jar into a container of water and held it there for three seconds. When she took the jar out, the tissues were dry proving that air has mass and kept the water from the tissues. Science is FUN!.
