Please let us know if you did not receive an email and we can place your child in an available group. If you are not fully registered, your child has not been assigned group. Please contact our office so that we may help you in completing the process with you. In addition, an email was sent out Friday afternoon (Newsletter and recording of procedures - see attached below) advising of our arrival and dismissal procedures. All families are asked to please review carefully. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Our classroom teachers will begin building relationships and teaching students how to log into various apps such as Seesaw in order to obtain links to synchronous learning and activities for asynchronous learning. Reminder that synchronous is live teaching and asynchronous is independent learning.
This week, if your child has the login information, they may begin to retrieve asynchronous activities. If your child does not have access, no worries! We will teach them all they need to know when we see them (in person or virtual) for transition days! No one will fall behind and everyone will have what they need by the end of the week to begin our Remote Learning on Tuesday, September 8th.

Remote Learning
A few things about our schedules. Each grade level has dedicated SEL Morning Meeting time. Per the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), we have certain synchronous (live learning) and asynchronous (independent learning) minutes to follow for all content areas. When you "Math or ELA Whole Group" this is synchronous or live teaching. When you see SG this means, small group teaching. We want to continue to meet the individual needs of all our students and pull them for small group learning to either re-teach or provide extension activities. Both Social Studies and Science are asynchronous learning; however, our classroom teachers will touch base with students during their ELA block so they understand the various assignments.
All other details will be explained by our classroom teachers. I wanted to make sure I shared our schedules and explained some aspects of it. I am positive our classroom teachers will do a much better job! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at mnicasio@dg58.org. Thank you!!
