Resources to support remote learning
From Coach Grandison...
​
The NCAA is scheduled to host a webinar for student-athletes and their families on Saturday, November 7 at 2 p.m. Please register to attend this event by visiting the link - register to join us for a discussion on these important initial-eligibility adjustments.
​
How can STEM HS support all learners and increase engagement? What systems are in place to support STEM learning goals?
As part of your system to support Mastery, a specially designed schedule was created to allow for additional individualized or small groups sessions with the learning coaches. For your reference I have outlined the resources available to help all learners reach Mastery. Please take advantage of these sessions and ensure that your child is attending IMPACT. IMPACT is a mandatory part of our STEM program.
Your learner can attend:
-
Daily Google Meets where clarifying questions can be addressed by staff and collaboration can occur with peers.
-
Daily office hours, Monday-Thursday from 2:00-2:30 where learners can get one on one support to the learning standards.
-
IMPACT sessions twice per month for small group and one on one support
-
Asynchronous Friday for individual and differentiated instruction.
-
After Hours Tutoring is available until 7 pm Monday-Thursday and from 10-2 on Saturdays. The number to call is 330-761-7943,or you can join with a Google Meet Link located on akronschools.com
-
Email your learning coaches for support as needed
How can I get support for stress and anxiety in this remote learning model?​
-
After Hours Counseling is available from 4-7 pm Monday-Thursday and from 10-2 pm on Saturdays. The number to call is 330-761-7943, or you can join with a Google Meet Link located on akronschools.com.
-
Daily, Coach Grandison is accessible via email to set up appointments to talk or connect to community resources for support. His email address is mrg47219@apslearns.org
My learner failed a class marking period 1, how can my learner get back on track to earn credit at the end of the first semester?
-
Credit at the semester is calculated by three parts: marking period 1 grade, marking period 2 grade, and the semester exam.
-
If your learner failed a course for marking period 1, they will need to pass marking period 2 and the semester exam at a mastery level.
-
Attend all IMPACT sessions, reach out during office hours for support, engage in all Google Classroom lessons, and check HAC weekly for missing assignments.
-
Communicate with learning coaches and schedule a conference on November 12th if your learner is falling behind.
From the STEM PTSA

PTSA- STEM Night at Casa del Rio Express was a wonderful success. Thank you to all the families and the staff that came out to dine or took dinners home and supported the Pam Rich Scholarship Fundraiser. With your support we raised 250.00! Woo Hoo!
-
The PTSA is still accepting memberships for families, staff and students. If you have not had a chance to take care of it, you can go directly to memberhub and in a few easy steps, be registered and done. While on the site, you can purchase your membership, your student membership and we also have the STEM Eagles window decals listed so you can purchase them all in one place.
-
Applications for Pam Rich Scholarship are now available in the counselor's office. Please note that any seniors interested in applying for this scholarship, need to be a registered PTSA member. If you have any questions about this, please contact us at nihfstemptsa@gmail.com

Finally don’t forget the PTSA is collecting Acme receipts for the Community Cashback. This runs through December. Please save your receipts for us and turn them into the school at any time that you happen to be at the office, or if you are picking up supplies one day. Thank you for continuing to support the NIHF STEM PTSA
