April 19 Principals Letter

April 19, 2020

Good Morning GNBVT families,

With the Patriots’ Day holiday tomorrow, we wanted to take the opportunity to make sure all GNBVT families and students remain safe during this healthcare crisis and know that GNBVT remains committed to assisting students and families to the best of our ability.

This week there will be no remote learning schedule on Monday (in observation of Patriots’ Day). Our remote learning schedule will begin this week on Tuesday, April 21st, and remain in session for the remainder of the week.

The schedule below this letter, will remind students of the assignments they need to complete daily during the week. All weekly assignments will be posted by Tuesday, April 21st, 2020 at 7:30a.m. Teachers are reviewing student work, providing feedback, and utilizing the district wide grading rubric to enter student scores in the Aspen Portal for Trimester 3. The Aspen portal is regularly updated and available for parents to access to monitor student progress.

Finally, if finances have been impacted by the current Covid-19 healthcare crisis, you do have the ability to apply for assistance (SNAP) through the State of Massachusetts. Please visit https://dtaconnect.eohhs.mass.gov/ to apply for SNAP benefits or https://www.myschoolapps.com to complete the application for free or reduced pricing of school provided breakfast and lunches.

Please remember that we are here to assist you. If you have any questions, please contact a member of our team. Best wishes to you all, remain safe, and know we are thinking about all of our GNBVT students and their families.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Watson, Academic Principal
Robert J. Watt, CVTE Principal
