Remote learning will begin on Monday, April 20 and will continue until the end of the school year (June 5)

Overview:

• Monday/Wednesday classes: Math, science, electives

• Tuesday/Thursday classes: English, social studies, world languages

  • Students will not “attend” class at a specific time; rather, these are the days when teachers will post instruction, work to be completed, and assessments.

  • Teachers will post two 30-60 minute “class sessions” per course per week to engage students in course content. Teachers will post “class sessions” by 8:00 AM on Google Classroom, or their other online education site of choice, on the morning of the instructional day (M/W or T/Th).

  • “Class sessions” will be a combination of instruction and work time. This work will be completed asynchronously, without real-time interaction.

• Classwork assignments/assessments will be due as assigned by the teacher.

  • Teachers will use students’ classwork submission as a way of determining student participation rates.

• Teachers will hold consistent office hours (60 minutes) three times a week for “live” real-time interactions to support students. Attending these office hours is optional for students.

  • Teachers may hold office hours in a number of ways: Google Meet or Zoom conference - audio only, Google Meet or Zoom conference - audio and video, Google Hangouts or Zoom chat room, Google Doc Q &A, Google Classroom question.

• Students are encouraged to email teachers throughout the week with questions. Teachers will reply to all student email within 24 hours.
