In Person Schedule Outline
Students have been assigned to classrooms and staff in groups of 5 or less. These small cohorts will stay together all day in the same classroom while the teacher and paraeducator trade places throughout the day for instruction and supervision.
From 9:00-10:00 students will receive English/Language Arts instruction using our Journeys curriculum materials. After the teacher has presented the lesson, the paraeducator will provide supervision during independent work time.
All students will have a 10 minute outdoor break around 10:00 in their cohort group of 5. This will be a time for students to take a mask break while maintaining social distancing. Students may also eat a snack while outdoors so please send a snack daily with your child.
From 10:30-11:30 students will receive Math instruction using our Math Expressions curriculum materials. After the teacher has presented the lesson, the paraeducator will provide supervision during independent work time.
Students will be dismissed at 11:30 each day.
