Dear La Conner Families,

It is hard to believe that we are in the month of December! This has truly been a challenging year for everyone and we know how hard everyone is working. Some students are struggling with online learning and we want to make sure they are receiving assistance from the teachers and staff. We are encouraging students to access office hours with their teachers. Each teacher offers 19 hours of office hours each week. A large number of our students utilize teachers’ office hours during the week, seeking extra help or explanation on essential skills and assignments. However, the students who are not passing classes are often not utilizing office hours.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, December 2nd, any student who is failing a class will be required to attend the Zoom meeting for each class they are failing. Here is the schedule for Wednesday Zoom classes:

10:00 am - 3rd period 10:45am-1st period 11:10 am - 4th period 12:30 pm - 2nd period 1:00 pm - 5th period

Through mandatory Wednesday meetings, we are hoping to help students find the help and support they need in order to be successful. Students will need to check their grades each week to see what classes they need to attend on Wednesdays. Teachers are also sending out emails to students to attend the Zoom meetings for tomorrow. Attendance will be taken for those who are failing a class. If your child is not failing any classes, they are not required to attend Wednesday meetings, but are always welcome to join. Please encourage your child to Zoom in to meet with their teachers during office hours every week. The office hour times for each teacher can be found on their Canvas pages.

If you have any questions, please call 360-466-3173 or send an email to me at kherrera@lc.k12.wa.us.

Sincerely,

Kathy Herrera
La Conner Middle and High School Principal and Athletic Director
