Guidelines for Virtual Learning Day 

From Dr. Berry

·     Business as usual- since the beginning of school F2F/virtual teachers have utilized Schoology for placement of assignments. Students will simply log into Schoology from home. Ensure chrome books go home previous to February 19 and March 12^th.

-          Assignments are of appropriate length. Use the following guidelines as transitions, lunch, recess, etc. won’t occur:

-          Pre-School – 30 minutes

-          K - 3   a combined 60 minutes 

-          4 - 5   a combined 90 minutes 

-          6 – 12   30 minutes per teacher (content areas)

-          K - 5  30 minutes specials (whatever special they are scheduled for that day)

·         Students should follow their regular schedule for the day.

·         Virtual teachers will continue to utilize lessons from F2F teachers and add to their Schoology class.

·         Virtual teachers may conduct live Zoom meetings on these two days and Sonday groups as they typically would

·         Teachers will communicate to their students a 2 hour office hour window so that they may be able to assist or answer any questions.

·         Teachers should plan to assess all work given to students (formative or summative)-just as they normally would and provide feedback.

·         Follow current pacing guide. This is an instructional day and lessons should be a continuation of the classroom content being taught.

·         Communicate in newsletters and provide correspondence to parents in advance regarding what the expectations for the day will be.

·         Parent/Student technology helpline will be available

 Teachers should reach out to parents to let them know they are available for any questions relative to accessing Schoology prior to February 19^th.

Sonday Groups, Essential Groups and ELL pull out services are SUPER important.  Please make sure you are sending your students to these groups.  Make every effort to schedule "fun" activities at a time when all students are scheduled to be in your classroom. 

Our Random Acts of Kindness Campaign starts this Wednesday.  Please share your grade level flyer in your newsletters and through your distribution list. Rachel has several parents who will help with the gathering and dispersing.  I'm expecting us to have a nice turnout.  You may even want to offer a Husky Paw for any student bringing in a donation.

Prayer Group will start meeting again every Wednesday morning at 7:20 in the front conference room. We will have a very brief devotional thought and spend just a few members praying for our school and each other.  This short meeting is open to everyone.  No one is required to pray aloud or share aloud.You can also come in late and leave early. 

Please look over this page in our handbook about Morning Duty!
