Schedule for Friday, 10/9, Full Remote Learning Day
Please note:
- Students have some choice throughout the day; be sure to look at each grade-level band to see options!
- For the STEM activities (K-3), the only materials you'll need are candy corn (or an alternative small item) and a few household items. A printable PDF is linked within the schedule, and will be sent home with students on Thursday in anticipation of the day.
- Teachers will post this schedule for their students on Seesaw or Google Classroom, and will "launch" them into their day of learning after their whole-class 9am Morning Meetings.
- Parent Tech Note: if you plan to access these activities from a personal device (NOT a student device connected to our network), you'll need to open all links through Chrome; Safari and other web browsers are often problematic. Thanks!

CDC RECOMMENDATION:
Protect yourself and others. Wear a mask, wash hands often, stay 6 ft from others.
Considerations for who should get tested
People who have symptoms of COVID-19
People who have had close contact (within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes) with someone with confirmed COVID-19
People who have been asked or referred to get testing by their healthcare provider or local health department.
Not everyone needs to be tested. If you do get tested, you should self-quarantine/isolate at home pending test results and follow the advice of your health care provider or a public health professional.
