Quincy Update

A NOTE FROM MRS. APSEY

Dear Quincy Families,

As we all move into well-deserved summer mode, we’d like to reiterate these two things:

• First, thank you so very much for everything you did to keep your children safe and to continue their learning. We have the very best families at Quincy and we know that this time has not been easy for any of you. We appreciate you more than you know.
• Second, no matter what school looks like in the fall, we will get through it together. We are hopeful that we can have all students back in school all day, every day. That being said, ZPS leaders are working through various plans in preparation for whatever the fall brings. No matter what happens, please rest assured that we will work our tails off to make sure that every student is safe, valued, loved, and learning.

The 2019/20 school year was like no other, but it was WAY more than COVID-19. It was fun to look back at the seven months we had together at school. Looking at these sweet faces and good times makes us SO excited for the fall.

Stay safe and enjoy each other. We love you all!!

A MESSAGE ABOUT JUNE REPORT CARDS

Parents/Caregivers,

Thank you for your partnership through these challenging times. The school year certainly didn’t end the way any of us would’ve wanted, but we continue to be grateful to work alongside you and your child at Zeeland Public Schools.

Since we had recently shared progress information with you regarding your child shortly before the school closure, we are not planning to send home our typical end of year report cards. Please know that we will work hard as a team in the fall to assess where your child is and to support him/her with their next steps in learning.

In the meantime, please remember the Remote Learning Plans that were just shared this week have many great learning opportunities to share with your child during these summer days. Look for new RLP’s later this summer to keep that learning going! Take care and let us know what we can do to support you and your family.

Brandi-Lyn Mendham, Ph.D.

Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum

SCREENING FOR 2020/21 INCOMING Y5/KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

We are excited to share that we will be using an online tool for screening for our incoming Young Fives and Kindergarten students. Information about this tool will be emailed to families this week. The information families provide will be helpful in creating our classlists for the fall and teachers will use the information to customize student support.

2020/21 CLASS LISTS

New class lists will be available in August. More details to come at a later time.
