Information for Parents and Students

​

1. Virtual learning is a partnership between teacher, student and caregiver. 
A successful learning environment is contingent upon the following: 

• Ask Questions when they don’t understand.

• Navigate the technology independently.

• Are motivated learners and can work independently.

• Create an organized study environment with all materials ready for class before it begins.

• Keep their camera on at all times and are seated upright ready to learn, and remain engaged.

• Follow “in-person” classroom expectations.

• Are on time to zoom sessions and follow their schedule.

• Problem-solve when something doesn’t quite go as planned

 

2. iPads will be sent home with all students each night. Chargers will be brought to and from school each day. 

 

3. If a student is absent from school, they have the option to attend virtually.
     Please refer to the Class Zoom Codes (included in your Weekly e-Newsletter).
 

4. If a student is virtual for one day, materials will be provided digitally through our platforms such as
    Seesaw, Schoology and various programs. 

 

5. In the event that you do not have materials at home, teachers will be flexible with the assignment. If a student is virtual for more
    than one day, teachers will gather materials for pick after day one in the vestibule outside of the main office between 3:00-4:00pm.
 

6. Students should join their homeroom teacher’s Zoom by 8:15am to join in for prayers, announcements and the pledge of allegiance.
