Please check your email for a list of teacher Zoom links. These will also be shared with our students via Seesaw or Google Classroom.


Devices - our students will come home with their devices and chargers on Friday. Please help them care for these devices to avoid potential repairs or charges. While you are away from school, if you have difficulty with your devices, please contact our help line at 319.553.3003 or email (homesupport2020@cfschools.org). In addition, here are a few helpful guides to connect the iPad or Chromebooks to the internet and sign in.


Learning Spaces - our students will need your support in helping to find a consistent space to learn in your home. Please consider areas free of distractions that will allow them to join their class and best focus on their learning.


School meals will still be accessible to families during virtual learning. Families must place their order two days in advance, using this link. Meals, which will include breakfast and lunch, can be picked up between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at North Cedar Elementary, Holmes Junior High, or Peet Junior High. 


Please continue to contact the school if your student is exposed to or experiencing COVID related symptoms. We will be available in the office from 8:15-4:15 each work day.


Have a great weekend! We are looking forward to seeing you again in person on Thursday, December 3rd in person!
