Asheville Primary School
August 2020
Remote Learning Schedule
- Synchronous lessons will be scheduled by the teacher using Google Meet in the same format used in the Montessori classroom.
- All of the times listed as lessons will not be full time on screen. Teachers will be directing students to work on projects and works in between screen time lessons.
- Staff will be working on teams this year to deliver lessons and support students.
- Each child will continue to have a specific learning plan designed for his/her needs.
- All classes will utilize SeeSaw as their learning platform.
- Please let your child’s homeroom teacher know if you have specific circumstances that make this schedule a challenge. (No need to call or email now. Teachers will be calling you this week to ask questions about your needs.)
More information will be coming soon about your child's specific schedule and for information about material and device pick up. Stay Tuned!
Continuous Change
The start of school is coming regardless of whether the questions have all been answered, yet. Emails will continue to come from the district about what options you have for this year. Letters were mailed this week for class placements and school specific information about the start of school on August 17 with remote learning. Class placements are not changeable at this time, but please know that our teams will be planning together and will continue to be flexible and make accommodations for your individual needs wherever possible. Being Montessori, each child has an individual learning plan to meet his/her needs. Please know that it is important for students to develop community connections within their virtual classrooms. You can help us do that with online activity participation.
*If you don't have a Google Gmail account, please take some time to sign up for a free account. This will help you be able to communicate with our staff during remote learning.
Whatever you choose for your family this year, we hope that you remain safe and well. We look forward to connecting or reconnecting with your family in a couple of weeks.
Take Care!
