BAKER ELEMENTARY
Trimester 2 Hybrid Instructional Model Enhancements
In response to parent and staff feedback on our Hybrid Instructional Model during the first trimester of the school year, Wayland Union Schools is implementing enhancements to our hybrid instructional model beginning the 2nd trimester. Students will continue with their original, hybrid, in-person schedule- Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday with additional enhancements.
These enhancements are organized around 5 categories:
- Live Lessons
- Multi-Tiered System of Supports
- Office Hours for Staff
- Communication
- Drop-In Study Hall Sessions
Live Lessons
- We will take attendance for these live lessons on Wednesdays to monitor which students are/are not attending these lessons.
- Parents will be able to check their child's attendance at live lessons through Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
- Live lessons will be recorded and shared through the teacher's Google Classroom for students who are not able to participate due to circumstances beyond their control.
- Attendance at live lessons will not be subject to truancy rules and policies.
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
Office Hours
During office hours, teachers will be available to answer questions and provide assistance to students and parents. Office hours may be provided through Zoom, Google Meet, or by phone.
If a teacher does not answer during office hours, it is likely they are helping another student/family. Please leave a message and they will connect with you.
Communication
- In general, Wayland Union Schools staff will respond to emails within 24 hours, during the school week.
- Whenever there are questions about paper assignments, online assignments, grades, due dates, etc., it is always best to start communication with your child's teacher as they are the one with immediate knowledge and information to assist. If questions and concerns cannot be resolved by working with your child's teachers, please contact the Building Princpal.
- Technology Support is available for students and parents during school hours, M-F. Their contact information is included in the resources section at the bottom of this newsletter.
Drop In Small Groups
Spaces are limited for this option in order to maintain the ability to conduct deep cleanings on Wednesdays.
