Remote Learning Updates-March 16, 2020 Dear KIPP Charlotte Families, We hope this letter finds you well. We are reaching out to inform you of our plan to continue supporting the academic growth and development of our students while schools are closed in response to COVID-19. This plan will cover the next two weeks (March 16 through March 27). Given the ever-changing nature of this situation, we will update our plans and share changes as they arise. It is the number one priority of KIPP Charlotte Public Schools to maintain the health and safety of our students and families, while simultaneously preventing as much learning loss as possible. In addition to academic support, we want to ensure that all students have access to meals. Please see details below for both meal distribution and academic work and support. Breakfast and Lunch Distribution- Grab and Go ● Starting Wednesday, March 18, our school cafeterias on both campuses (KIPP Change Academy Elementary and KIPP Academy Charlotte Middle) will be open to serve FREE breakfast and lunch to any students/families that need meals. Students/families can go to EITHER campus to pick up meals. Meals will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. ● Breakfast will be from 7:30-8:30 am daily. ● Lunch will be from 11:30-12:30pm daily. ● Students/Families can pick up meals to take home and eat. Please bring something to carry home meals. Please note: if you are unable to come to one of our schools for meals, there are several community organizations that are also offering free meals to students. Please see information to the right: Academic Work and Support All students are receiving work for reading, math, and science/social studies that they should complete over the course of two weeks. The work is a review of previously learned skills so students do not have to worry about mastering new content on their own. In addition, we will provide information regarding accessing optional online learning platforms, if students are able to access online work. Work Packet Pick-Up Information All student work packets will be available for pick up on Wednesday, March 18 from 7am to 7pm. Please come to KIPP Change Academy at any time during this day to pick up work for the next two weeks.

● Check-in with students about the work they have completed● Go over specific questions and problems● Give them words of encouragement to do their absolute best!
Teachers will coordinate with you on the best time to call. This call is also an opportunity for you as the parent to touch base with your child’s teacher and ask any questions that might be on your mind.
It is our recommendation that, as often as possible, you establish a set time for when your child will complete his/her work so that he/she is experiencing consistent routines and procedures for engaging in academic tasks.
Below is some guidance around the work that is being sent home with your child so that he or she can have continued practice while we are closed.
