O. Henry Middle School

Principals Daily Message April 7, 2020

Good Morning Mustangs,

We wanted you to know that Austin ISD is working to distribute electronic devices to our students and they are aiming to complete the process this week. Please be patient with the distribution taking longer than expected for the health and safety of our AISD technology workers.

 As we work to provide technology to each student, please remember that our teachers have created continuous learning opportunities that are designed to cover grade-level standards. These learning opportunities will be delivered electronically to students through BLEND, on-line meetings, and email. A  Learning-at-Home website has been created as a resource to support student learning. The Learning-at-Home website also provides the pick-up locations for paper-based learning packets.

 

O. Henry is a packet distribution site.  Packet pick up is on Wednesdays from 11-1 for students in grades K-8.  This is not the same classwork found in BLEND but additional Learning-at-Home resources. 

Our goal is to help students prepare, to the greatest extent possible, for the upcoming school year. We understand that many students will not be able to connect or will have difficulty completing assigned work. We ask that you use the resources when possible and to ask teachers, campus administrators, and the Middle School Office for assistance whenever needed. 

 More detailed information about technology distribution is coming this week. This will also be coming from the technology department. 

 Thank you in advance for your understanding.
