5-6 Project Based Learning Units
Hi Families!
In the 5th grade unit, Explorers will answer the generative question, “How can we elevate the indigenous stories and voices of history?”
Warmly,
Hi Families!
Good Afternoon Explore Families,
Thank you for your partnership this week as we navigate these challenging times! Your curiosity and compassion are inspiring. We are the luckiest to serve this community. As we move forward through this year it may be necessary for different students and families to quarantine. We want to ensure that everyone experiences continuous learning when at all possible.
Attached to this email you will find the quarantine learning guide. Please take a moment to reset your Explorer's email and accept the invitation to your teacher's Google Classroom. Completing these two steps will ensure that your child can access all learning materials they may miss while in quarantine! Materials moving forward will be posted on Monday to be completed by Friday.
Please ensure that you are connecting with the main office and NOT your child's teacher if you are waiting to be tested, in quarantine, or have tested positive. The front office will also be able to track families who are unable to access Google Classroom during their quarantine time.
The main office will direct quarantined students to learning packets on google classroom. These are not for students who are absent or out for other reasons. Students not in quarantine will work with the teacher to make up missed work. Quarantined work on google classroom is for extended absences only.
Thank you again for your partnership! Remember that together all hearts and minds will rise!
With love,
Explore! Leadership

Dear Explore! Families,
Good Afternoon,

Dear Explore!
Families, I want to reinforce that the safety of our entire community is our highest priority. As such, we are going to continue with our current mask policy at Explore! Which is all community members are masked when on campus. This is in accordance with MNPS’s decision announced last night, based on recommendations from the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We continue to implement a variety of mitigation strategies to make the school environment as safe as possible and masking is one that has helped us keep our Explorers consistently at school. We ask for your continued support and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any specific questions or concerns.
In partnership,
Stephanie “Ms. JT” Jarrett-Thorpe
Dear Families,
As you know our Exhibition of learning is scheduled for Friday, May 6th. In looking ahead at the weather there is an 86% chance of thunderstorms. Cornelia Fort Airport is an outside venue that has very little shelter. In order to ensure that our community is safe and remains dry, we will shift our Exhibition to the school. We will need to split the grade level times in half to allow for everyone to fit in the space.
Please read carefully below for updated information.
Third and Fourth graders will have their exhibition from 9:00 - 9:45. Kindergarten through Second grade will have their exhibition of learning from 10:30 - 11:15.
Please plan to arrive early and sign in through the front office. A member of our team will escort you to the exhibition of learning! Any guardian that wishes to pick up their explorer from the Exhibition will need to bring their placard. In dividuals who bring their placards will be able to sign out their child directly from the exhibition.
Those guardians that do not have a placard and hope to sign their child out early will need to show an ID to a member of the operations team before signing out.
I know this is a change in our plans but we are really excited about this special event! Please reach out if you have any questions. We are excited to see you there.
With excitement,
Ms. Talbot

Dear Families,
Dear Explore! Families,
I am writing to inform you that 2 additional members of our community have tested positive for COVID. They were on the school premises and did have direct exposure with a limited number of other members of our community. We have conducted our contact tracing using the process outlined by the Metro Health Department. We have made contact with the individuals who are considered close contacts to these parties. If you have not had a direct call from a representative from the school, there is no further action for you to take.
