Parents/Guardians, We thank you for your continued support throughout 7-12 remote instruction. The following information may be helpful in keeping your child engaged in the learning process. • The school day consists of a structured daily schedule of learning tasks, which will include synchronous learning (teacher-led lessons with the whole class) and asynchronous learning (independent or small group learning). Our remote instruction schedule is: 8:00 First Period 9:00 Second Period 10:00 Third Period 11:00 Fourth Period 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Fifth Period 2:00 Sixth Period 3:00 Seventh Period • Students will have daily live interaction with teachers and peers for instruction, progress monitoring and maintaining a connection to the school community. Daily live interaction will happen using Zoom and/or desmos (math). • Each teacher is using Google Classroom to host Zoom meetings, post student learning expectations, and classroom assignments. • Student attendance and participation is required and will be graded daily. To earn attendance/participation points students must: 1. Be on time to class 2. Have his or her camera on throughout the period 3. Be visible on camera throughout the period 4.
