Our Goal
Our Goal
Providence Day School is committed to providing learning activities and opportunities even if we are unable to meet in person. Our Lower School faculty is devoted to maintaining a personal connection with each child while also supporting their academic and social emotional development during this time of remote learning.
Student Expectations
Student Expectations
Students will be invited to join two special events, such as a Google Hangout class meeting or sharing a question of the day and/or videos of story time, book clubs, or novel reads. Please note that there may only be one special event during our first week - Wednesday, March 25th -27th.
Students participating in live events should be dressed appropriately. It is good practice that students find a quiet location, mute their microphone, and have a good work surface during live events.
Students are expected to adhere to the Charger Code Expectations at all times. Parents should contact Lower School Administration (Jenny Tucker, TK-2 and Erin Harper, 3-5) if additional coaching and guidance is needed for their child.
Student behavioral expectations are to remain the same as during our normal school day. Please refer to the Student-Parent Handbook if you have any questions. Lower School Administration will be contacted, if necessary.

Attendance
Attendance
Attendance will not be taken daily as many of the learning opportunities will be asynchronous. The completion of all assignments and participation in synchronous events will be monitored to ensure that students are participating. Students who become ill should have their parents email their teachers and the division head to let them know if they are too ill to participate in learning opportunities.
