Talkeetna At-Home Learner Resources

MSVL is the on-line platform that your child is using and has access to this year using the Chromebook assigned to your child. Whether your child is an At-home learner, or s/he is at home due to symptoms, your child's classes are accessible and ready.

Lesson Icon Within a module, every learning portion of the lesson will be designated by this icon.	Assessment Icon After completing the learning portion of the lesson, there will always be a follow-up activity that will give measurable information to your child's teacher of how well your child understood the material in that lesson. To access the online assessment you have to manually go back to the ACTIVITIES page. Unfortunately, Buzz is not directing you to the assessment from the lesson but instead will send kids on to the next lesson without completing the follow-up activity. If you and your child get in the routine of always returning to the activity page after completing a lesson, this will help immensely!	Printable Icon Alternatively, you might see this icon (above) after completing a lesson. Your teacher may have sent this home in a take-home packet previously or you can print it on your own. Have your child complete the printable and upload a picture of it or return the hard copy to the school (or whatever method your teacher has advised). Details coming soon for how to upload pictures and videos.

Parents as Observers

In MSVL, parents have been added in as "Observers" so they can see how their child is doing, even if the parent isn't with your child. This could be helpful for parents that work away from home, children who spend time in different homes due to custody or other circumstances, or parents monitoring the progress of older and more independent students. Please click the button below for the directions on how to access the "Observer App".

Hello At Home Learner Students and Parents!

I hope that your time with At Home Learning has started well, and I'm writing to offer more information about Physical Education for this year. You may have already had the chance to look at the Physical Education component of the Matsu Virtual Learning platform. This is a good resource for students to learn more about different facets of physical activities. In addition to MSVL, all Talkeetna Elementary students will continue to use the Healthy Futures activity logs as a means of encouraging and documenting their activities. All at Home Learners will receive a participation grade for PE when they turn in their monthly log. For students who do not turn in a log, they will receive a "not measured" grade for PE. I am happy to provide additional support for any student for both Healthy Futures activities or any other endeavor that they would like to pursue while learning remotely.

Our third quarter ends on Friday, March 5, so please email any completed work to samuel.christman@matsuk12.us.

Here are some additional resources for Healthy Futures:

Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines

1. Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?

No. None of the authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines currently in development in the United States contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. This means that a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.

2. After getting a COVID-19 vaccine, will I test positive for COVID-19 on a viral test?

No. Neither the recently authorized and recommended vaccines nor the other COVID-19 vaccines currently in clinical trials in the United States can cause you to test positive on viral tests, which are used to see if you have a current infection.

3. If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes. Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that re-infection with COVID-19 is possible, vaccine should be offered to you regardless of whether you already had COVID-19 infection. CDC is providing recommendations to federal, state, and local governments about who should be vaccinated first.

4. Will a COVID-19 vaccination protect me from getting sick with COVID-19?

Yes. COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.

5. Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?

No. COVID-19 mRNA vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way.

Messenger RNA vaccines—also called mRNA vaccines—are the first COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States. mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response. The mRNA from a COVID-19 vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept. This means the mRNA cannot affect or interact with our DNA in any way. Instead, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work with the body’s natural defenses to safely develop immunity to disease. Learn more about how COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work.
