• Guidelines on Remote Learning for Elementary School Students

    Each day students should do the following:

    1. Check-in for attendance by logging into TigerID and clicking on the Remote Learning Check-In App. The app will be active beginning Monday, March 23. Visit our website for directions.
    2. Follow your teacher’s directions to locate assignments. Each teacher will have a quick link on their landing page entitled “Remote Learning”. On this link, parents/guardians and students can find information related to how that specific teacher is presenting Remote Learning activities and lessons. Teachers will be using one of the following locations to house assignments:
      • Google Classroom
      • Website
      • Emailed directly to parents/guardians (if sending to students, parents/guardians must be copied on all emails)
      • Other platforms they are currently using and have been communicated with their students and parents/guardians (i.e. Schoology, SeeSaw)

    School Day Schedule

    1. Assignments will be scheduled upon a two-day rotation based on an even calendar day or an odd calendar day (March 25 = odd day, March 26 = even day, March 27 = odd day, March 30 = even day, etc.)
      • Even Calendar Day - ELA and Social Studies will be assigned
      • Odd Calendar Day - Math and Science will be assigned
      • Special Area (Art, Library, Music, PE,) activities/lessons will be posted on Monday and students will have the entire week to complete all four assignments by Friday at 3:30 p.m.
    2. Activities and/or assignments should be between:
      • 15 and 30 minutes per subject area for K-2 students
      • 25 and 45 minutes per subject area for 3-5 students
    3. Beginning Monday, March 23, teachers will be available via email during normal school hours if students or parents/guardians have questions
    4. Teachers will have a lesson available for their students by 8:00 a.m. on the even/odd day. For lessons that are spread over multiple days, this will be noted in the lesson explanation. If the school closure is extended past Friday, March 27, beginning the week March 30, teachers are strongly recommended to post all assignments for the week on Monday.
    5. Counselors will be available during the school day via email for support. They will also continue with any appointments previously made via conference call. The counselors/social workers will share the conference line via email with those students who are scheduled to meet with them. Reference this document to access counselor contact information.
