Asynchronous learning takes place when students engage in self-directed learning planned by the teacher. In NNPS, students complete their asynchronous learning in Canvas (2nd-12th) or Seesaw (K-1st).  

Synchronous learning takes place when a teacher and students are engaged in learning together at the same time. In NNPS, students participate in live instruction using the Zoom platform.

• For asynchronous learning days, students should use their NNPS issued device to complete assignments.  Preschool students will not take home devices. They will complete printed learning packets instead.

• Assignments are posted by 8:00 AM on the asynchronous learning day. 

• Students are marked present for an asynchronous day based on participation logs in Seesaw or Canvas.

• Teachers will be available to assist families and students during a live, one-hour office hours via Zoom.  The link will be posted in Canvas or Seesaw.

• Students will follow their regular class schedule and will participate in live, Zoom meetings with their teacher(s).

• Zoom meeting links are posted in Seesaw or Canvas.

• In order to be counted present for class, students must attend live Zoom sessions with their cameras on.  If a student is unable to join via Zoom, please contact the teacher as soon as possible.

• Teachers will provide screen breaks throughout the day to support student well-being.
