Dear Parents/Guardians:

- Tutoring will still be available through Mr. Montero and Mr. McLean. Please see the email message sent out on Friday, March 27 for more information.
- All students should have a functional device. Students will need to be able to log into their Google Chrome accounts. This could be through their school-issued Chromebooks, a laptop, desktop, tablet, etc. If students experience technical issues, our district IT is available to provide technical support in the following ways:
- Via the following link: https://www.mtnhomesd.org/technology-help-request.html Please fill out this Student/Parent Technology Help Request form. They will try to provide support for your needs remotely.
- For those issues that can't be resolved remotely, IT support will be available at Hacker Middle School, at the door near the playground, weekdays from 11am - 1pm. They will continue to follow social distancing rules, and will only have one IT support person present at any given time. This coincides with the free lunch that will be provided at HMS at the same time.
- Wi-Fi Capabilities – Please work with your teachers to make arrangements if you have limited/no access to Internet. They need to be aware so they can create alternate assignments.
- ISAT Tests, Senior Projects and SAT Tests are canceled for this year.
- AP Testing dates are still scheduled for May but will have a lot of adjustments on their administration.
- Summer School is a question mark at this point. We will keep you informed.
- Food Service - please check our MHSD Facebook page for pick-up locations for grab-n-go breakfast/lunches.
- Again, we ask that you PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS AT LEAST DAILY – this goes for parents and students. Teachers will be sending information to their students via their student (school Gmail accounts.
We want to express the gratitude we have to be able to serve your awesome youth . We will continue to have high hopes and will do our best to make the best out of this very strange time. And while we don’t currently have answers to questions about typical events that happen in April/May (i.e. Prom, graduation, etc.), we promise to relay any developments we might receive in a timely matter.
Please take care and know you are in our thoughts. Always feel free to email any of the three of us administrators if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sam Gunderson
Principal - MHHS
