Virtual School Continues Monday through Thursday (4/6 through 4/9)
We have high expectations for your student and their learning throughout the upcoming virtual month which continues this week and is expected to tentatively end on 4/28/20. If you are in need of any support to ensure your student is able to complete the virtual learning, please reach out to us.
We believe that a pre-scripted routine will benefit the student and the parent as you begin to practice a "New Normal." Below this text, view the schedule for virtual learning. Please expect your student to do no more than 4 hours of learning each day (1 hour per class period), four days each week. Your student may be asked to participate in a break-out session or your student can schedule individual meetings with teachers from 1:30 to 3:30.
If your student is unable to participate in virtual learning between 9am and 1:30pm, that is OK. All lessons will be accessible at any time and any direct instruction will be recorded for you and your student to view at a later time.
Attendance is taken during the virtual week via digital communication. Your student must make "virtual contact" with your student's teachers by submitting assignments or sending an email for each class within 48 hours. Please support your student's learning by helping manage their virtual schoolwork.
