Overview of the Upcoming Weeks
The Week of August 24th
During the week of August 24th, there will be no live synchronous instruction. Students will be coming into the building on an individual one-on-one basis or in a small group setting. Please check your email for a signup genius from your student’s teacher. During this time, students will receive any materials and consumable materials needed for remote learning as well as a Chromebook if you are in need of one at home. They will be completing some Aimsweb assessments with their teacher. Teachers will also be sending some beginning of the school year activities as well as links to your student’s google classroom to parent emails. Please reach out to me or your student's teacher if you have any questions.
The Week of August 31th
Class Schedule
Elementary Remote Learning Framework: Monday - Thursday
- Live instruction is at least 30 minutes of each block each day.
- Attendance will be taken during the academic blocks. See section below
- Blocks will consist of 1 Math, 1 ELA and 1 Science/SS/Content Literacy Block.
- Review Block will be a second opportunity for students to meet with the teacher if they need extra support or were unable to join the lesson earlier in blocks 1, 2, and 3.
- I/E will be a combination of small group instruction/intervention based on individual/group skills.
*PLEASE NOTE: These scheduled blocks of time include LIVE/Virtual instruction from the teachers, students working independently (on and off the chromebook), small group instruction, one-on-one support, etc. similar to a regular school day that is a balance of teacher directed instruction and student work time. Students will NOT be looking at their devices all day long, but rather intermittently throughout the day for instruction. During Remote Learning, teachers will have office hours on Fridays to be able to support parents/students each week. These office hours will be communicated to you when you meet your child's teacher.
