FAQ's

What times will my students need to be online every day?

Students should begin checking into Google Classroom at 8:30 every day for their morning work and math lesson. Our first Zoom will begin at 9:00 am every day.

What will students need to do on their own?

Students will need to complete morning work, as well as any independent work that will be assigned in Google Classroom.

How long should students be working every day?

Students should be working 3-4 hours each day. This includes live interactions via Zoom as well as independent activities.

What is the best way to communicate with my teacher?

Parents can email me at June.Rizzo@svusd.org. Students can send me a message through Google Classroom, Seesaw, or contact me during my office hours between 1:30-2:00 daily.

Should my child have homework each day?

Students should be reading 20 minutes nightly. My hope is to have enough time built into the day for students to be able to complete their independent assignments during the school day (8:30-1:30). There may be some exceptions to this, and please let me know if your child is struggling to keep up.

Will attendance be taken?

Yes, we will be taking attendance daily. A student is considered absent if they do not attend any of the Zoom sessions for the day.

Will students be receiving grades?

Yes. Unlike last spring, assignments will be graded and there will be a report card with more information about progress towards mastering standards.
