Hello Everyone,

I hope that things are well with you and that you and your family are healthy during this time! The length of our district’s closure has been extended to April 20th and it is now necessary that we begin to provide students with new instruction. In doing so, we will operate from a common set of expectations as we progress in the use of a virtual learning format. Please know that this format of learning is new for us all and should be considered a work in progress. It is my expectation that all members of the West community interact with one another with empathy and compassion.

The period up until March 27th allowed for students to complete make-up and review assignments. Effective, March 30th through April 20th the following expectations are in effect:

Student Learning

  • Google
    1. Google Classroom will continue as the primary platform for all assignments and it will link to other resources used by teachers.
    2. Teachers will utilize Google Meet to conduct virtual meetings.

Instructional Expectations

  • Teachers will move forward with new instruction starting Monday, March 30th.
  • Each teacher will post two assignments per course per week to the Google Classroom by Monday at 7:30 am of that week.
    1. Assignment #1 will be due by 11:59 PM on Wednesday and Assignment #2 will be due by 11:59 PM on Friday of that week.
    2. Students will be assigned 2 hours of student work per course per week including the assignments and participation in learning activities.

Office Hours

  • I will have Office Hours per the schedule below.
  • Office hours will be for conducting virtual meetings with a class, answering specific questions, providing instructional guidance, etc…
  • Student participation in Office Hours is voluntary.
  • I will be available to answer questions at other times throughout the week as well.

Grading

  • Students will receive either full credit “completed” or no credit “not completed” for any assignments provided during Online Learning.
  • Effective March 30th, all assignments completed will be counted within Marking Period 4.
  • Make-up work for Marking Period 3 may be submitted through April 3.
  • There is no change to our established Report Card calendar.
  • The 2019-2020 school calendar is still in effect and as such Spring Recess (April 6-10) will take place as scheduled.

Student Learning

  • CHPS is proud to share the Continuity of Learning Resources for Students and Families. In response to the school closure, the District formed a Virtual Learning Team to compile resources and supports for students, families, community, and teachers. While the site is updated on a daily basis, we wanted to share the links to these valuable resources. We encourage you to email us at studentsupport@chclc.org with ideas to post and ways we can support the transition to virtual learning with your child.
