Not Able to Connect: Make-up Options The below options are available if a student cannot connect during scheduled online learning times. ● Whole group instruction will be recorded and posted in canvas for viewing at a later time or for review ● Please get assignments done by the end of the week.
Working Together ● First and foremost please know that we want our families to remain healthy and safe during these unprecedented times. ● We also understand that your family dynamics and situation is unique to each one of you. ● It is expected that issues will arise and students may not be able to connect on time or complete an assignment in the given time frame. ● It is the overarching goal of our team that all students are successful and gain mastery of the standards being taught. To that end, when “life” happens please communicate right away so that arrangements can be made to assure success.
Curriculum and Standards ● During the summer many people have been working to make sure that materials have been uploaded that align with the standards and create equity across the district assuring the success of all students in an online platform. ● The fall curriculum will be all new learning which makes participation so important. Students need to stay engaged so that when we return to campus they are on track and ready to learn with their peers. ● Small group instruction will be essential to accomplishing these goals (schedules will follow).
Assessments During the first two weeks of school it is our goal to assess all students to help us identify where students might need additional support. Please be on the lookout for more information.
