Roles for K-12 Students and Families for Online Instruction
As we enter into the 2020-2021 school year, we recognize the many challenges that online and blended instruction bring to students, families and caregivers. Below are roles and expectations for students and their families/ caregivers when participating in online instruction. Also, the teacher, as the facilitator of learning, will partner with students and families to ensure that they communicate regularly, plan instruction effectively, and offer support and feedback when needed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j6LG19lfiv-rEJaw0Iw5zmx5lZBEbkHxcr7xYeOODAY/edit#heading=h.jxeub8p8de7v
School Day Expectations
August 17th-21st: First Week of Orientation. Teachers will work on connecting with students and families during this week. There will be a Grade Level “Meet the Team” meeting held for parents during this week that will cover the following information: review of the grade specific daily schedule, turning in class assignments, communication, and other grade/class information. Teachers will be communicating via Memberhub, emails, and phone calls. Teachers will be sharing their schedules and specifics for their classes/grade levels during Meet the Teacher/Open House. Here is an overview of the schedules for all of the grade levels.
August 24th-28th: Second Week of Orientation. Our goal is to help students transition into their day by having them attend their “live” instructional times during their daily schedule. Here are schedules by grade level that will be shared and provided expectations starting on the week of the 24th - Overview of the Schedules for All Grade Levels . On Friday of every week, grade levels will be sharing a “Week at a Glance” that will have the plan for the week as a reference. This will provide support to those assisting with virtual learning on a weekly basis. Students will need to access their Google Classrooms for assignments.
Supply Pick up
In an effort to accommodate social distancing and honor concerns we have decided to do a first round of materials pick up at the school. Grade levels will give more specifics on the materials that are included in the bags that you will pick up at school during your scheduled time below. IF the time doesn’t work please contact your homeroom teacher or Ms. Kronen (jkronen@wcpss.net) to assist with material pick up.
