Remote Learning Practice Day

remote learning practice day - Nov 2020.png

Monday, November 9 will be our final planned “Remote Practice Day”. The Elementary and Secondary will both participate in this event so that we can continue to work through problems or issues if we were to have to go to a remote learning modality at any grade level. Several key components include:

  • Both elementary and secondary will have “LIVE” times that students are expected to attend on time and for the entire time.

  • Remote days are “Academic Days” and work WILL be assigned that will happen outside of the stated LIVE time that will constitute the hours needed for an entire school day.

    *While there is no requirement that this work be completed during the “Open” school time (i.e., 11:00AM - 3:00PM for Elementary or 8:00AM - 11:00AM for Secondary), the work will need to be completed nonetheless. This means that students will be expected to complete the work and submitted at the time assigned by their teacher.

  • Students will have work assigned that will help meet requirements of a complete school day.

  • Secondary students will be on the “Purple” schedule

  • Secondary students will need to check their “Google Classrooms/Classes” of the classes they did not have “LIVE” and complete the work for that clsas.

*Bolded information below covers this concept.
