Transition to Remote Learning
Parents and students. Thank you for your patience. This week, April 6-10, students will have the chance to review coursework from trimester 2 and PRACTICE interacting with teachers remotely. The optional activities and lessons this week are simply practice as students, teachers and parents all learn to navigate distance learning. It’s important for you to know that this week’s supplemental practice work will not affect a student's trimester 2 grade negatively. It may, however, help a student’s grade if missing work from trimester 2 is submitted. Please check with your teachers to determine what, if any work can still be turned in for trimester 2. All trimester 2 makeup work should be completed and submitted per your teacher’s guidelines.
On April 13th, all Redmond middle and high schools will be transitioning to trimester 3 courses. By the afternoon of Wednesday, April 8th, you will be able to access trimester 3 schedules through your studentVUE or parentVUE account. Please check the trimester 3 schedules so you know which classes to access starting on Monday the 13th. In an effort to support all families and students, some of whom are still working to get devices connected at home, the first week of trimester 3 will be focused on engaging in getting to know the content, collaborative learning and course expectations. Initial graded assignments will not be expected the first week.

Padres y alumnos. Gracias por su paciencia. Esta semana, del 6 al 10 de abril, los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de revisar los cursos del trimestre 2 y PRACTICAR interactuando con los maestros de forma remota. Las actividades y lecciones opcionales de esta semana son simplemente prácticas, ya que los estudiantes, los maestros y los padres aprenden a navegar el aprendizaje a distancia. Es importante que sepa que el trabajo de práctica complementario de esta semana no afectará negativamente la calificación del término 2 de un estudiante. Sin embargo, puede ayudar a la calificación de un estudiante si se presenta el trabajo perdido del término 2. Consulte con sus maestros para determinar qué, si todavía se puede entregar algún trabajo para el término 2. Todos los trabajos de recuperación del término 2 deben completarse y enviarse según las instrucciones del maestro.
El 13 de abril, todas las escuelas intermedias y secundarias de Redmond realizarán la transición a los cursos trimestrales 3. Más adelante esta semana, nos comunicaremos con usted para comunicarle el horario de cursos del tercer trimestre de su hijo. En un esfuerzo por apoyar a todas las familias y estudiantes, algunos de los cuales todavía están trabajando para conectar dispositivos en el hogar, la primera semana del tercer trimestre se centrará en conocer el contenido, el aprendizaje colaborativo y las expectativas del curso.
Nosotros apreciamos su paciencia.
