Distance Learning
Distance Learning!
As a school system, the Archdiocese of Baltimore is making a promise to continue to educate our students for the 2019-2020 school year. Our teachers will be continuing our distance learning model including video conferencing and live or recorded content delivery with some necessary tweaking after teacher, student, and parent feedback.
Distance learning is scheduled to take place through June the 1st for 8th grade and June 11th for Pk - grade 7.
Information pertaining to distance learning can be found on the Distance Learning page of our website.
Zoom - Called by Name :)
The display name used for Zoom should be the real name (first or last) of the student participating in the class. This allows teachers to more easily identify those who belong in the Zoom Classroom and allow them access to the class.
