PRINCIPAL/PARENT CHAT

August 28, 2020


Agenda


  • Today’s presentation is about online learning.


  • We are not finalizing a plan for onsite  learning at this time because we do not know what the conditions will be when we return to campus


What to Expect the First Week   August 31- September 4

Students, parents, and teachers will be participating in training modules to strengthen for online learning.  Teachers will meet with students for one hour every day.  Parent Learning Modules are linked here: Parent Learning Menu

The District will continue to provide ongoing training modules throughout the year based on parent input. 


Welcome Week Activities for Students

As teachers engage in professional learning, students will have access to differentiated, standards-based activities that build skills for online learning, develop social emotional skills, engage in content standards and provide an opportunity for voice and choice.

These stand alone, student-centered activities will be distributed by teachers through their online platforms
