Galindo Grizzlies,
This is Ms. Barreto-Romero with your Sunday updates for Sunday, April 5th.

Distance Learning: As you have heard from Dr. Cuz, AISD school buildings are closed indefinitely. Although the buildings are closed, learning will continue. AISD is transitioning to distance learning this week. Please continue to visit the AISD Learning From Home Website for ideas and ways to engage your children this week. Next week starting on April 13th, Galindo teachers will be delivering virtual lessons and learning opportunities on BLEND and Seesaw. This week teachers will be reaching out to you to make sure you are able to get on these learning platforms with your children.
-
Technology Update: Parents of our 3rd through 5th grade Grizzlies should get an email this week from the AISD Technology Department asking about your technology needs. If you don’t have an email that you regularly check, please contact your child’s teacher so they can help you fill out the survey. AISD will be delivering laptops directly to your home! We don’t have a timeline yet, but think emails will go out this week with more information. Pk-2nd grade students stay tuned because we hope to help connect you with devices as well.

Materials Distribution: Galindo will be a material distribution site starting this Wednesday, April 8th. We will be passing out learning materials for children in grades Pre-K through 8th grade. Distribution will take place in the back of the school in the bus lane from 11:00 am through 1:00 pm. Please enter through Birch Street. Only one person per family needs to come to pick up materials. Please plan to stay in your car and we will place the materials in your trunk.

Food Resources: The Capital Area Food Bank is also hosting a Food Pantry Distribution this Thursday, April 9th at Foundations Communities Sierra Vista (4320 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78745). This distribution will be from 6:00 and 8:00 pm and is only a 4 minute drive from Galindo. Children do not need to be present when you pick up groceries from this location.
Thank you and don’t forget to follow us on YouTube, FaceBook, and Instagram so we can stay in contact with you. We are looking forward to seeing your comments, replies, and tags! #WeareGalindo #StillGalindo
