Minor Changes to Online Education Schedule
|
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In an effort to improve our remote learning program, we have made some minor changes to the schedule. We have added Academic Support blocks so that students can access their teachers for small group instruction, re-teaching, and additional support. Conversely, teachers may request to meet with students to reinforce greater understanding during this time. The additional Support Blocks will allow teachers to work with students on a more individualized basis. A second change was from a weekly schedule to an A/B schedule. This will allow for more equity between the subject areas.
The expectation for all students is to follow this schedule by checking their teachers' Google Classroom and completing whatever assignments are given, participating in video conferences, and partaking in the Classroom Stream.
The schedule is as follows:
