Remote Learning
The Bobcat Way!
We are Stronger Together!
We are ready and well-equipped to welcome Buffett students to their 2020-21 school year. Our teachers are ready to utilize their experience and training in the use of blended learning strategies to provide a learning environment that is as close to face-to-face as we can be, virtually.
As we move closer to our first day in the new remote learning environment, we want to provide this advice:
- be patient with technology, you may encounter problems and we understand
- set up a space at table, desk, coffee table for your student to work
- have your student wear headphones if you have them
- families with multiple students may want to use separate spaces/rooms
