Virtual Learning Continues...
Hello Phoenix Families,
We had an awesome week of virtual learning last week. We had a large amount of students that were able to log in, and we have worked hard to troubleshoot those that may have had some difficulties. Last week was a great learning experience for all of us. We experienced technology glitches on our end, and learned which online platforms were most reliable and most preferred. Please continue to bear with us as we tinker around and explore this new normal. Also, check in with your child to ensure that they are working on their assignments.
Students should also check out the morning announcements on Instagram @bsmsphoenix between 8:30-9 every morning.
To have a successful online experience,
We recommend that students have earbuds and possibly, a microphone. We understand if you do not. Not a problem. The laptops have built in mics, but sometimes the quality is not the best. Students please remember to mute your device while the teacher is teaching and keep chat comments focused and on task.
We WILL have a Spring Break!
- Spring break remains in place for GCS students from Monday, April 6 - Monday, April 13. Students and teachers are not expected to logon to distance learning during this time.
- School and district offices will not be open to the public during spring break. Phones, emails, text messages and “Let’s Talk” dialogues will not be answered until the district reopens on Tuesday, April 14.
Reminder!! We need this from EVERYONE WITH A GCS LAPTOP
