Current power issue at AAHS. There are no parking lots lights. Please use caution if you plan to attend tonight’s Board Meeting.
Reminder: Meals will be distributed today and Wednesday from 12:30-1:30 at AAHS and AES.
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.

Mrs Rakestraw!
Just a quick note: If your student sent in a video and it isn't in the concert, please know they were not left out on purpose. There was a lot of students to sift through and even though a check over and over it seems I have missed a couple. It makes my heart very sad and I apologize.

Dear Parents/ Guardians
We are in our final 3 days of recording for the virtual Christmas Concert. I will take submissions until Noon on Monday December 14th. After this point, I will stop taking new videos in order to finish editing the concert. My Goal is to upload the concert by the end of next week. Because of this, *** I can not take any late submissions.*** If you sent a video in please make sure I sent a message back to you saying I got it and all was ok. If you are having issues with videos uploading to google classroom please do not wait until Monday to let me know. I have been able to download some student videos through Facebook Messenger, but please email me and let me know to look for them there if you choose to send them that way. **REMEMBER** all of the information on how to record including tutorial videos are on the google classroom. The biggest thing is *****they MUST sing with the video of me in order to line up with the other students.*** (see directions on google classroom for video) Let me know ASAP if you need help.
Reminder: This is not required and is not for a grade but the more kids we have the better it will be.
