We Believe in Us
As you and your child are planning out your daily schedule, please be aware of the following for a virtual learning day.
All students will access each one of their classes through Canvas.
They will begin each day with their Advisory class at 9:05 a.m.
Students will begin each period with live instruction. The remainder of the period will be a blend of live learning (synchronous), learning from an online platform (asynchronous), and independent practice.
The following is the daily virtual learning daily schedule:
Advisory: 9:05-9:30
Period 1: 9:30-10:25
Period 2: 10:30-11:25
Period 3: 11:30-12:25
Lunch: 12:30-1:00
Period 4: 1:05-2:00
Period 5: 2:05-3:00
Period 6: 3:05-4:00
PHM Homework Helpdesk
In order to provide students with after hours academic support during virtual learning, we are piloting a P-H-M homework helpdesk. We have assembled a team of elementary, exceptional education, and content specific secondary teachers who will be available via email from 7:00-9:00pm, Monday-Thursday. These helpdesk teachers will be responsive to student and/or parent emails, providing specific academic support as needed. This might include responding to an email or even an interactive Google Video Hangout to provide academic guidance. Additionally, the helpdesk teachers will communicate back to the student's regular teacher related to what supports were provided so we can work collaboratively, creating the best possible virtual learning environment for our students.
Students and/or parents can contact the after-hours homework helpdesk by emailing homeworkhelp@phm.k12.in.us starting on Monday, August 24th.
