Teachers will provide a weekly plan to families that will include activities that students can do independently or with some support at home.
There will be no requirement for synchronous, online learning for primary students. However, teachers will establish modes of ongoing communication with students and families.

Review curriculum expectations/long range plans and create a plan for student acquisition of the remaining, essential overall expectations.
