What you need to know for Remote Learning
From Tuesday, January 18th—Monday, January 24th, Lewis and Clark Middle School students will learn online. At LCMS, we are READY to support you and your student through this transition to ensure that learning continues.
Here's some important information to help you and your student prepare:
- Please choose a workspace where your student can focus (quick video for helpful tips). Headphones help in noisy situations. For privacy, aim the laptop camera toward a wall instead of into the room.
- Please help your student follow the schedule (see below). Using a timer is a huge help!
- Each morning at 8:00, your student should log into Google Meet to start a full day of online learning. Your student can access the Google Meet codes through their Canvas pages or can fill out this FORM to get an electronic copy of their schedule with their meet codes.
- Please connect on ParentSquare with your student's teacher. Turn on notifications. If you haven't already, download the ParentSquare app for a better experience.
- Please have your student log into their StudentSquare account. Students can access this through their Grade Level Canvas page.
- Please review the LCMS Expectations for Distance Learning with your student to help him/her succeed at online learning.
- ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED - Students will be marked absent if they are NOT in their Google Meet at the required time. This is a different expectation than last year.
- Lewis and Clark's self-contained special education classes will remain in-person.
- There WILL BE online school on January 24 to make up a snow day.
- We hope to return to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 25.
REMINDER - Log into your GoogleMeets EVERY DAY!! Attendance in GoogleMeets is required.
