Helpful Guidelines for Middle School Distance Learning
To help support your family navigating distance learning we wanted to share a short description of some of the guidelines for distance learning. We understand the dynamics for every family is different and please contact your student's teacher if you need support or have questions with any of the following:
Teachers are designing lessons that should take students about 30 minutes per class per day to complete. Please work with your student's teacher if this is overwhelming for your student to complete in a week.
Students should follow the instructions from their teacher on turning in assignments. Many assignments will be turned in through Google Classroom.
Grades for trimester 3 will be Pass or Incomplete for all 6th & 7th grade students. 8th grade students will be graded with Pass or No Grade.
Attendance will be taken weekly on Fridays by 3pm. You will notice in ParentVue that attendance codes have changed during distance learning. We are using PAR for students who are participating in class by working on and turning in assignments. CTC is for students who have connected with a teacher, but are not working on or completing classwork. NC is the code that will be used when a teacher has not heard from a student during that week.
Participation Calls and Emails
We understand that you may be prioritizing your student's work and participation in certain classes during distance learning. This phone call and email will confirm their participation.
If you have questions about their participation please feel free to check your students attendance in ParentVue to determine which classes they have or have not participated and reach out to teachers with questions.
