Please encourage your child to check Google Classroom daily for their assignments. This is a 4-day week. There is no school on Friday.. My weekly live instruction (https://meet.google.com/cyn-ckgx-hcf) will be held on Thursday from 2:00 to 3:00 this week. Last week was an informal session. We are “hitting the books” this week. Here are the online etiquettes I expect the students to follow:

  1. Sitting at a table, facing the computer
  2. Using mute and unmute for the microphone to take turns talking
  3. Camera is on, so I can see students
  4. Distractions out of the way: siblings, pets, other devices, toys, tv, food etc.
  5. Paper and writing utensil near computer/device - If possible, I recommend using markers so it will show up better on camera.

I understand that the students miss each other and would love to have time to chat. We will begin and end each session with a 5-minute chat. Thank you for your support.

I will be available to answer questions during our weekly family hangout from 7:00pm to 7:30pm this Wednesday. I do not have anything planned to present. Feel free to “stop by” if you have any questions or concerns. https://meet.google.com/xmy-zmrx-eoh
