CONNECTING WITH OUR LEARNING
In our distance learning model, we have identified three priorities for learning:
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF - priority #1
- Enjoy the weekend.
- Ways to stay Healthy, Educated, & Entertained while we are at home
- Here is an ongoing list of ways to stay connected with others while you are at home
CONNECT WITH STUDENTS - priority #2
- Creative and fun ways to engage our students in Virtual Learning
- Here is a link full of resources as we embark on virtual learning, please feel free to add to this list- with an explanation about the site to share with everyone.
- A reminder that our amazing paras are making contact with all of our families each week, their goal is to let the families know they are there if they need anything and then to share questions or concerns that families have with teachers, counselors, or admin. Their role is not to hold google meets or work on classwork.
PROVIDE FEEDBACK - priority #3
- As more and more of us are using Google Meet as a good way to connect and support learning we are asking you to use this schedule to coordinate meet times so we do not overlap. The times you entered last week are still on the Meet Sheet, but if you have additions or changes, please make them by noon on Friday.
- Easy & Efficient Feedback ideas
Connecting with Our Future
Our Purpose
Our school goal: “During the 2019-2020 school year, Washington Middle School will connect with others, connect to our own learning and connect to our future. Our connectedness will be measured by smiles, celebrations, feedback and learning targets.”
Autonomy
As we continue the next phase of our school year, please refer to the distance learning guide for middle school.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the essential skills with your content team this week. We are using those skills to create a survey that will collect student reflections on 4th quarter learning for you.
As you come across questions and new discoveries, please consider that we are here to help and only a phone call, email or video conference away.
