The Wingspan
A Remote Learning Edition
A Note from Dr. LiVecchi
I hope this newsletter finds you well. I hope everyone is adjusting to remote learning. These are challenging times for sure but I know as a community we are strong. I cannot tell you how much I miss seeing your students in the hallways, watching their games and performances, and chatting with them in the cafeteria during lunch duty.
I know the Spring brings about many milestones, especially for Seniors and that many students will experience a grieving time (as well as their parents) with lost experiences. Please let me know if there is anything you or your family need at this time.
This newsletter has the following information in it:
1. A video from our staff
2. A video on how to change settings in Canvas for notifications
3. Updated technology request procedures
4. Meal distribution schedule
5. What to expect for grades
6. How to communicate with us
Thanks for all the support you have given me and my staff through these weeks. I am blessed to be a part of such a wonderfully supportive community. It makes it a pleasure to serve you.
Kindest regards,
AJ

How to Change Canvas Notifications
Reducing System Generated Emails
What to expect for grades?
1. Expect about 1-2 daily grades (assignments, quizzes) per week per course.
2. Expect about 2-4 major grades (tests, projects, essays, presentations, something of greater effort than a daily grade).
I have asked teachers to think outside the box with regard to Major grades. Tests may not be the only way to show knowledge - especially with remote learning.
*Keep in mind we will follow all district guidance and grading policy may change due to the nature of our current situation. If something is too much or too little - reach out to teachers and let them know what they can do to help.
