Mr. Z's Grade 4 Class – School Closure Update #2



Greetings again from the Room 302 (not so) top secret remote headquarters. I hope you are all managing well. I have a few pieces of news I’d like to share in this update:

PHONE CALLS TO FAMILIES
The district has asked teachers to check in by phone with families of all students at least once a week. I am starting these calls this week. I will be calling via a new telephone number that I set up specifically for this task. The number is (413) 342-1490. It will show up on your caller ID as “Springfield, MA.”

If you are busy, please do not feel obligated to answer when I call. I will just leave a message if you don’t pick up. You may also use this number to call me, leave a voice message or send text messages to me. This is not my home phone, but I can access it at home, so don’t feel funny about using it to reach me. That is the purpose of it.

SPECIAL FOOD RESOURCES AVAILABLE
The school community, including the PTO, is putting together some great resources available to families during the school closure period, such as free school breakfasts and lunches, some Stop and Shop gift cards, etc. Please feel free to contact me by any of the means mentioned below if you need a hand getting connected to any of these resources. I would love to help.  

WAYS TO CONTACT MR. Z
You can reach me at my new phone line (413) 342-1490. You can also email me at jzyskowski@northampton-k12.us

I also want to remind you that I am posting copies of all these e-mail updates I send on my classroom blog at: http://bssroom302.blogspot.com/  You can always visit there for access to the complete collection of the school closure updates I send.
