Daily Family Communication Expectations
Expectations:
Starting 4/13 you may send out the entire week's activities.
Monday emails must be sent before 10:30am. If you are doing weekly, you must send another email Thursday morning before 10:30am. This email can highlight something from the week, offer a reflection, or a bonus activity.
All grade levels will be ready to implement sending out the entire week's activities by 4/20.
Teachers will send emails via synergy (if you do not know how to do this contact Candice)
You may use other platforms in addition to synergy. Synergy keeps a log.
Each teacher of a grade level should send the same exact activities and email
All emails will be sent to families before 10:30am.
Reminder Learning Tasks
Teachers are required to send:
1 social-emotional task daily;
1-2 academic tasks daily (no more than 2);
1-2 interactive tasks a week;
Teachers can remind families of access to online programs (e.g. Reflex, Moby, IXL, Khan), but these would not be assigned or count as the daily activity.
Aim for 30-45 minutes of teacher guided learning each day.
Remember the below table represents MAXIMUM times.
