The Weekly Newsletter
Asynchronous Wednesdays
Now that the school year has begun, we are continuing to review our instructional schedules and the impact of the virtual environment. Developmental Teams are tweaking Wednesday schedules to; mitigate excessive screen time for students,comply with district directives, allow staff to participate in required district training and curriculum planning. Consequently, Wednesdays will become a day for Asynchronous Learning so that students can complete assignments, reach out to their teachers for additional support if needed, and engage in classroom projects. Teachers will not be leading live instructional lessons on Wednesdays but will continue to post the expectations for the instructional day. Students still need to login to ItsLearning to complete and submit work every Wednesday.
Asynchronous Wednesdays Expectations
Morning Meeting- Link to “Read Aloud” on ItsLearning
Students work towards completing assignments.
Students will have a writing assignment (instead of journaling) to complete on Wednesdays.
Meetings
We will continue to meet M, Tu, Th and F at 8:30. These meetings will last about 15 minutes and then our Open Meetings will begin. Students should attend our Open Meetings if they have questions about any of their assignments, ItsLearning, or any questions in general. Sometimes, if we see that a student needs assistance, we will ask them to come to this meeting. If we ask that a student attend the Open Meeting, and they do not, we will contact the family and schedule another time to meet with the child. We will continue to meet with students by grade level. Please abide by the following schedule.
Open Meeting Schedule
1st years 8:45-9:05
2nd years 9:05-9:25
3rd years 9:25-9:45
Turning In Assignments
Students should find their assignments under the "plans" tab on Itslearning. When turning in assignments, students should use the "plans" tab, find your assignment, click "answer assignment" tab at the bottom of the assignment, then click on the "more options" tab in the toolbox and choose the square icon with mountains to add a picture of their work.
