A two-hour delay notification means we plan to return to in-person learning tomorrow!
Please make sure your student comes to school with all learning materials, a fully charged device, and their charger in their backpack—ready for the day ahead.
Thank you so much to our families for navigating synchronous eLearning over the past few days. We had great attendance and participation, and we truly appreciate the many parents and guardians who went above and beyond to ensure students were able to join their Google Meet classes and continue learning despite the weather conditions.

We will conduct another synchronous eLearning day tomorrow (January 29).
While we truly miss seeing our students in person and can’t wait to physically be together again in our classrooms at Rosedale Elementary, we are so grateful for everyone’s flexibility during this time.
Thank you to our families and students for your continued effort and support. Because of you, we had 97% attendance again today!
Please review the attached Google Meet expectations document with your student to help ensure another smooth and successful day of learning.

Shoutout to Our Rosedale Elementary Staff, Students and Families!
A huge thank you to our teachers, support staff, students, and parents/guardians for making our first day of synchronous learning such a success! With over 97% attendance (281 out of 289 students participated!), our students showed up ready to learn, and everyone navigated the learning platform with patience, flexibility, and a strong effort.
Nothing replaces the value of in-person learning and being together in our classrooms, but this alternative allows learning to continue on the virtual platform when needed. We truly appreciate the teamwork and flexibility shown by all, and we’re grateful for the continued partnership that helps support our students—no matter the setting.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding the Synchronous Learning process and procedures, please contact Mrs. Cleghorn (cleghorna@swparke.k12.in.us).

Parent(s)/Guardian(s) - You've got this and so does your student! We are here to support and help however we can.
Tomorrow, January 27, will be our first day of synchronous learning (the blue column on the Virtual Learning Guide). Students should be logged into their Chromebook and ready to join their Google Meet by 9:00am.
Students have practiced how to log in, access Google Classroom, and join their Meet, and most should be able to complete these steps independently. That said, this is our first experience with live virtual instruction, and we understand there may be questions or technical issues along the way.
Please be sure students:
• Have their Chromebook charged
• Are in a quiet workspace, if possible
• Log in on time to ensure they are marked present for attendance
Attendance will be taken during the live session. If your child experiences internet or technology difficulties, or if there is a conflict that prevents them from attending at the scheduled time, please contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Cleghorn as soon as possible so we can work together on an alternative plan.
This is a new learning platform for all of us—students, staff, and families alike. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work through this first synchronous learning day together. Our goal is to support students while continuing meaningful instruction, and we will partner closely with families to make this a positive experience.
Thank you for your continued support!
Students should complete their Day 3 eLearning packet tomorrow. Should we have any additional school closures, we will switch to synchronous learning.
Please refer to previous messages with additional information and/or reach out to your student's teacher or Mrs. Cleghorn if you have any questions.
Stay safe and warm!
All Southwest Parke Schools will conduct asynchronous e-learning tomorrow - Monday, January 26, 2026. Teachers will be available via email to assist with lesson related matters that may arise. Please reach out to them.
The attached image is the Rosedale Elementary Virtual Learning Guide, which outlines the plan for asynchronous and synchronous learning. This document is being shared in advance for planning purposes, should we need to utilize synchronous learning days. Please reach out to Mrs. Cleghorn or your student’s teacher with any questions you may have. Thank you!
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) – Due to uncertainty in the weather forecast, students were sent home with eLearning materials. We have one asynchronous eLearning day (as we have used in the past) available for use. We will utilize that day before moving to synchronous eLearning.
Please encourage students to leave their materials in their backpacks until/if we need to use them. It is important that all materials remain readily available for school. Materials will continue to be sent home until the forecast indicates they are no longer needed.
Additional information will be sent out if we have the need for synchronous eLearning days.
Due to the extreme wind chills forecasted, all Southwest Parke schools will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow - Friday, January 23, 2026. Please exercise great caution when traveling to school later in the morning tomorrow!
