Welcome to ALPHA Class
at Medulla Elementary!
August 2021
It is time to say "Welcome back to Medulla!" Teachers have been preparing for the past week with eager anticipation to begin learning with all of our friends together here at school. This year, if you are a Medulla Elementary School student then you will be learning on campus. Some of our friends may have elected to join Polk Virtual School, the second option provided by Polk County Schools.
Alpha classes will begin the week of August 23rd. You will all be receiving a letter from me explaining when your Alpha class will meet and what you will need to bring to class on our first day. Please fill out the Getting to Know Me form and bring it the first day of Alpha class. I will have something special for those who remember to bring it with them.
This year we will be using Schoology as our Learning Management System again. Assignments will be posted there along with resources to support student learning in the course listed as K-5 Gifted Adv. Ed. We will review how to access these materials when classes begin.

Mrs. Powers Philosophy of Education - All students should be in a learning environment that facilitates discovery. Authentic education comes from finding answers to our own questions. When students have developed a need to know something then they will learn it.
