Happy Sunday Leaders!
This week, we had our first Student and Parent Lighthouse zoom meeting. We want your help in partnering with our Student Lighthouse Team. We would love to give you a voice along with our students at Silverdale and include you as partners in education. If you could not join us this past week, please make plans to join us next month. All parents are welcomed to join.
On Wednesday, we will be hosting our first virtual club day starting at 9AM. Teachers will be given the students directions on how to join a club. The role of the teacher will be to facilitate the club online. The level of teacher involvement will be based on the club they are hosting. If a club is not running smoothly then the teacher may have to end the virtual club early. Students will be receiving their Leadership t-shirts on Tuesday. We are encouraging them to wear them on this day. Students are not required to join club day and will not be marked absent for not participating. We thank you in advance for being flexible and understanding as we try something new.
Last call, for BINGO night! Please use the link in the SMORE to order BINGO cards for your family by tonight. We have lots of great prizes to give away.

Expectations for Remote Learning At Home
On days that students are at home working remotely, they will work on independent practice of taught concepts with the use of manipulatives and materials provided. Students will complete computer-based programs and remote assignments. Teachers (not necessarily assigned teacher) may post pre-recorded lessons to review or supplement instruction provided during face-to-face sessions and/or introduce additional content. Students do not have to login by a certain time each day. The expectation is for them to view the content posted, complete the work assigned, and turn in to the teacher on the due date. They will also be responsible for completing and turning in work to each ENCORE teacher. As long as students are turning in work, they are counted present. If a student is NOT completing their assigned work on a specific day that it is due, they will be marked absent unless the parent makes contact with the teacher.
On Wednesdays, students are engaged in remote instructional activities (2-3 hours K-2; 3-4 hours 3-5) based upon age/appropriateness. Students participate in an online “Live” meeting with the teacher and students from Cohorts A and B. Engagement in whole class and/or small group lessons with teacher and students from Cohort A and B. Teacher will also have office hours on Wednesdays to help answer questions or to provide additional support to students. If students cannot participate in the “Live” meetings, they can watch the video later and complete the work assigned. All work will need to be turned in by the assigned due date.
To help families with remote learning at home, we have created a campus wide remote learning schedule. Remote learning assignments for students can be found on all teachers’ websites under the tab-Remote Learning Schedules. From there you will be able to click on the week and a calendar at a glance will load to help you know which assignments are due and when, the time of scheduled “LIVE” sessions, and teacher office hours. The calendars will also contain live links for Wednesdays and other links students may need to use for instruction.
Students did to be up and out of bed and dressed appropriately when participating in LIVE session on Wednesdays. Please help your child to limit distractions by not allowing the family pet or younger siblings to participate or allowing them to eat during this time. Also, other members of the household need to be dressed appropriately when walking in front of the computer's camera.
If your child needs support at home, please reach out to their teacher. Teachers will respond to your message within 24 hours. Our teachers are working tirelessly to serve our students. Please be respectful of their time before and after school when they are at home with their families.
