Good evening, parents and members of the Newmarket community,
Tomorrow is our first remote learning day and we wanted to provide you with some information that you might find helpful as you think about how to adjust to this change.
Junior Senior High School
Junior Senior High School students should be receiving electronic invitations to Google classrooms developed by their teachers. Teachers who had already been using Google classroom will continue with their same page. All students should “enroll” in their Google classrooms by tomorrow morning, the official beginning of remote learning. Teachers will be working remotely each day.
Elementary School
Teachers at the Elementary School have prepared Home Learning Packets with learning activities and supplies. These packets, along with any resources you requested, will be available for pick at the front entrance at NES tomorrow morning between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM.
Virtual Office Hours
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM
All faculty will be available online during these hours to provide direct support to parents and students. Faculty will do their best to respond to emails within a day (24 hours).
Parent/Student Support Request
In addition to Virtual Office Hours, parents and students can request the following support by completing the help request form.
Support available includes meals (breakfast, lunch, 68 hour program, food pantry), technology, psychologist, nurse, counselors, social worker, school supplies, administrative help, delivery vs. pick up or anything else not listed here. We will respond to requests for support daily.

Parent Talking Points for Students
School Breakfast and Lunch Program:
Orders for our school lunch program should be placed through the parent/student request link. Parents pick-up will take place between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM at NES, using the parent drop off road behind the building.
We know you may feel overwhelmed and we are here to help you in any way. Remote Learning en masse is new to everyone. Our goal this week is to make sure our systems are working, everyone has access to the internet and has a device, students/parents can access and communicate with their teachers, and delivery systems work. Once these basics are in place, we will begin to provide more robust programming and support.
We are all in this together and I am confident that as a community we can provide for our children by modeling flexibility, creativity, and resiliency. Best of luck tomorrow.
Susan K. Givens, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
