Pine Ridge Remote Learning Site and Information


Daily Lesson Aspects

  • By 7:00 a.m. each day, a new lesson/activity will be shared with students that day on either Seesaw or Google Classroom

  • Lessons will focus on a key grade-level standard, allow for student practice/work time, and communicate what assignments may be submitted to the teacher for feedback. (This week maybe establishing routines and procedures)

  • Language Arts and Math on alternating days, two days a week for each subject.

  • A 15-20 minute student assignment will typically accompany daily lessons, for the application and practice of students’ new learning.

  • Families setting aside time for independent reading is strongly encouraged every day. Suggested duration: 30 minutes for Kindergarten, 45 minutes for Grades 1 through 4.

  • Students with either a Special Education IEP or 504 will continue to be supported by their teachers and/or specialists, in accordance with individual plans and a developed Contingency Learning Plan.

  • Friday Learning Support - teachers will determine weekly.

  • Teachers may send supporting materials through the U.S. Mail to families or make phone calls, as needed.

Additional Information

  • Teachers will communicate a brief weekly update letting you know of important information, updates, an outline for the week, and their teacher-student check-in times for the week.

Teacher and Student Check-In Hours or “Office Hours”

  • Teachers will be available 2-3 hours per week for social-emotional and/or academic check-ins, lesson follow-up, small group lessons, and ensuring student success.

  • The teacher will communicate these times/days with you. Our goal is to provide on-demand support to students at scheduled times.

  • Methods/platforms by which teachers will connect with students vary. Examples include Zoom, Google Classroom, Seesaw, phone.

  • Staff will continue to respond to students throughout the day as they normally would during the school year.

  • Our counselors, special education teachers, and support staff will also be supporting students with office hours.

What Will be Expected of My Student?

As students engage in new learning, they should plan to check their class online platform daily, view lessons/videos, and complete practice activities. Students will participate in teacher-student check-ins as often as possible. Given the variables that exist within families at this time, options exist for students to flex their learning.
