January 4-11: Scenario 3
Students attend school at home through online learning: Monday, January 4 – Friday, January 8
It is our understanding that this additional week of online learning is intended to increase the isolation period of our younger students to mitigate the risk of students bringing COVID-19 into schools after the winter break. We understand that this unanticipated week at-home may put additional pressure on families and will do our best to support your child’s learning. However, this is not considered the same as emergency learning which took place in the spring. It is direct engagement/instruction, not distance learning.
LEARNING STANDARDS AND TIME COMMITMENT DURING SCENARIO 3 (January 4 to 8, 2021)

· focus on early literacy, numeracy, physical skills and wellbeing
