DISTANCE LEARNING Ms. Potts Kindergarten Tieranni.potts@slps.org
Welcome! Hello: This document is meant to inform you of the expectations for distance learning and how to access the online learning platforms we will be using. This is a new experience for all of us. I am here to help in anyway I can. Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask for clarification when needed. This is an uncertain time and trying to maintain normalcy is difficult. Accessing an online classroom not only helps students stay on track academically but also keeps students feel connected to the school community. Feeling connected is extremely important at times like these. Please read this document and review the information with your child. As parents of children in kindergarten, I fully appreciate the time you will spend helping your child through this process.
Online Conduct Students are expected to behave in a way that is productive to their learning and the learning of others by: ◦ Being respectful to classmates when communicating in online forums (Using kind and encouraging language) ◦ Using only assigned logins to access online learning platform ◦ Asking for help when needed ◦ Checking into the classroom daily (Monday-Friday) ◦ Send pictures of assigned documents as requested. Message them through dojo, my email, or text.. ◦ BE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON ALL SUBMITTED PAPERWORK. I will be available online on Teams daily from 930 am until 1130 am.
