Dear CFMS Parents and Guardians,
As we continue on our journey of remote learning until January 21, we wanted to highlight a few important pieces of information for you to help ensure the best learning environment for your child(ren). If you have questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher(s). We are here to help!
This Slide Deck will be shared with students, along with a video explaining clarifications from our Dean of Students, Mr. Jablonske. Please review and help your child(ren) with these items.
Schedule:
Our CFMS remote learning schedule has stayed the same with the exception of our TA time. TA has changed to Monday from 9:00 - 9:15 AM.
While students do not have scheduled classes on Fridays they should be doing work assigned to them, getting extra help from teachers, or catching up on any missing assignments from the week.
End of Rotation 2 - Trimester 1
Work for Rotation 2 classes is due by Dec 1
Students should check Infinite Campus for their new schedule and classes
Teachers with new rotation classes will email the Google Classroom link to students. Students should watch for those emails and watch their Google Classroom home page for those new classes
Students will be expected to engage in learning according to the schedule each scheduled school day.
Teachers will be available for support during typical school hours.
Classes/Google Meets/Attendance:
Students should attend each scheduled Google Meet class and participate. Just like students are responsible for attending each class while in person for learning the same is true or remote learning; students are expected to attend each class.
Attendance will be taken each day. Students will be marked present when they attend scheduled Google Meet class sessions, show progress daily, and/or complete assignments.
Parents will need to call the attendance line if your child is not able to attend school during a day in order for the absence to be excused.
If your child needs be quarantined or isolate due to Covid, please call the school nurse at 715-726-2400 ext: 1958
Students should be participating in their course work if they are feeling well enough to do so.
Classwork:
Students need to make sure they are staying on track with their school work each day and week.
Keeping up with and submitting completed school work is crucial to staying on track and not getting overwhelmed with missing/late assignments.
Just like students are responsible for completing work for each class while in person for learning the same is true or remote learning; students are expected to complete work for each class in remote learning.
Missing work:
Please check Infinite Campus regularly to make sure your child is turning in his/her work. If there are any missing assignments, please ask your child to complete them. Encourage your child to reach out to his/her teacher if he/she has a question.
Google Classroom shows a checklist of items that need to be completed and to help students stay on track. Infinite Campus is where work completion and work progress scores are documented.
