Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions. If you need clarification on any of these questions please feel free to email Mrs. Vaughn svaughn@elynne.k12.mo.us or call the office (816) 626-3511.
Q: How will I turn in the work I have done (if not turned in digitally)?
A: At this time we are not collecting student work (except those things turned in digitially). Students can go over answers during zoom classes or via email or other teacher communication.
Q: Will my work be graded? Count as a grade? Be on my report card?
A: We realize in this type of learning assessing fairly and taking grades would not be an effective practice. Teachers will be collecting work, and providing feedback on assignments. These assignments will not count for a grade (like we are used to doing). During this remote time of learning we are looking for PARTICIPATION and ENGAGEMENT in the learning activities teachers are creating and sharing.
Q: What are all of the different sites and social media pages I am supposed to access?
A: There are many places to find information.
- We post important information and updates on our school website. eastlynne40school.org
- We post on East Lynne 40 School District facebook page. These posts are also linked to our web page
- We post on East Lynne Learning Opportunities to share ideas, websites, and extras you might find helpful. You just have to like the page to get access.
- Mrs. Booher posts her weekly lessons on East Lynne Art Classroom. You just have to like the page to get access.
- All Middle School teachers ( and Ms. Booher, Mr. Thurman, and Mrs. Stewart) all have google classrooms for their middle school students

Q. What if my child can not access the scheduled zoom time?
A. We understand that if might be possible that your child can not get online during the scheduled time. Please contact your teacher so that you can arrange another way to get the necessary practice/materials. It is also possible to record zoom sessions and they can email you a recorded version.
Q. Will my child get more learning packets?
A. If needed we will be mailing or delivering more materials. This time will be used to hand out materials not collect work.
Q. How much time should my child be spending working on school work?
A: We know this time is new for everyone. We want all of our students to have BALANCE. Make sure students are getting exercise, playing outdoors, taking advantage of our MUSIC, PE and ART activities. Encourage students to write and keep a journal. Take time to play board games, play with legos and use that imagination. The East Lynne Learning Opportunities page on facebook (and also seen on our webpage) has a wealth of websites and ideas for everyone to use.
Q. Who has the best teachers and support staff in the universe?
A. EAST LYNNE SCHOOL 40! We are blessed and amazed with the dedication and support our entire staff has been giving to our learning community. At some point, we will emerge from this crazy time and be together again. . Until then - we are grateful for your support and patience that make this time possible.
Thank you,
