Bradie Shrum Elementary
Fall 2020--Virtual Learning Edition
Parents and Friends of BSE,
Thank you for taking time to help your child(ren) with their studies during this unfortunate shut-down. We wish our students were with us inside the classrooms to learn! Thursday afternoon was certainly a moment in our world where we felt the deep impact of an impending extended absence from school. We will miss our students being with us. We also recognize that many of you are working jobs that do not allow you to be with your child during the typical school hours and we will work through this as best as we can. If your student is unable to complete assignments or be online during the day (from 9-3pm), you will likely see them recorded as absent for the day--PLEASE know that this is a temporary placeholder. If they complete work in the evenings or in subsequent days, teachers will notify our attendance office and we will be able to adjust the attendance code without issue. Teachers and staff will also be reaching out to you if multiple absences are recorded to make sure that your students do not have circumstances limiting the completion of the work. We ask that if at all possible, you notify your teacher of any emergency situations that may arise which prevent your child from completing virtual assignments. Feel free to reach out to me directly as well at jlawyer@salemschools.us or 812-883-3700.
As we adjust to our second span of remote learning, we hope that our students will work diligently to maintain their educational growth with participation in classroom lessons and special classes for each day. This is not ideal for anyone, but it is what our world requires in 2020-2021 to keep moving our students’ learning forward. Thank you for being our partners in helping the BSE community to stay “Fins Up and Fins Forward” in a difficult time in our history.
--Ms. Jen Lawyer, Principal

Need Help with Google Classroom?
Your child has worked in Computer class, the regular classroom, and in additional specials to become more familiar with Google Classroom since our first closure to remote learning earlier this year. They might surprise you with how much more they know! Still need help navigating the system? Please feel free to email the teacher or watch the links provided for extra help.
HOW DO I REQUEST TECH HELP?
If you have an issue with a device, please contact the main office at 812-883-3700 to be relayed to the appropriate individual. We will try to help by phone or set up a plan to assist you in the technical difficulties that are happening. Occasionally, our secure web server will block websites that need to be unlocked by our tech team. We appreciate your patience as we troubleshoot these. Please contact your teacher directly if a site appears to be blocked.
VIRTUAL LEARNING TIMELINE: October 16th-October 30th. Students will return in session on Monday, November 2nd.
