The Governor issued an Executive Order today closing all K-12 schools and requiring each school to continue an extended learning plan that includes 160 student days. Randolph Central will continue eLearning Days on Mon., Tues., & Thurs. of each week. More info coming soon.
A few updates from Mrs. Wright, DMS School Counselor
1. The 8th grade Reality Store has been cancelled for this year. I am hoping we will be able to coordinate this experience for the class of 2024 next school year.
2. I have sent an email to the 8th graders who have not applied for 21st Century Scholars yet. The deadline for this scholarship opportunity is the end of the school year and it is something you will not want to miss out on. Parents - if you could have your students show you the email they received, you will get more details on what the program is about and what you need to do to apply. If your student received the email but you believe you are not eligible, please have them respond and let me know that. You can also get more info at this link: https://learnmoreindiana.org/scholars/enroll/
3. All students received an email from me about the community service form for their PRIDE certificate. This form is due by the end of the school year and I have not received very many at this time. All DMS students can complete this form (which is attached to the email they received) and return it to me via email or send it to the school in the regular mail.
4. I am sharing a list of apps (pictured) because they are good resources for students to use at home if they are feeling stressed or need to relax. They work for adults too! If your student is having any issues you would like them to talk to someone about, please have them contact me at swright@randolphcentral.us or give me a call at 765-584-4671, extension 1020.
5. If you are not currently following the Driver Instagram page I would like to encourage you to do so. I will be posting more tips and resources there throughout this month.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you are all staying home and staying safe!
Hello from a few familiar faces! Enjoy!
