Monday, August 10 to Friday, August 14
In addition to the operational guidance and “How To” of Distance Learning during week 1, we will engage our students in activities that will promote inclusivity and connection between their peers and a Grade Level Teacher. All students will be assigned a teacher or certificated staff member for a “period 9” class that will be the course they need to participate in during week 1.
This is the only course students will need to participate during week 1.
- Students in grades 10-12 will participate in this course from 9:00-10:20 each day starting on Monday, August 10 to Friday, August 14.
Students must check their Aeries email for details!
Students in grade 9 will participate in an 80 minute period that will take place during one of the times listed below:
- 8:30, 9:40, 10:50, 12:10, 1:20, 2:30
- 9th grade students will be notified of the timeslot in which they will participate in their Aeries account by Wednesday August 5th.
- Students will only be participating in one of these timeslots listed and will participate in the same timeslot every day from August 10-August 14.
- 9th grade students will participate in break out rooms with about 16 students and a certificated staff member which could include a 9th grade teacher, counselor, or administrator. I will be participating too.
* Our normal schedule for periods 1-6 will begin on Monday, August 17th.
* I will provide the finalized schedule in my update to you next week and during the Zoom meeting on August 5th.
