Remote Learning... Are you ready? (Must know Information Below)
Much of the very important detailed schedule information for your child will come directly from their teacher. Pay close attention to those emails so your child is ready for the start of Remote Learning starting Monday, November 30th. All students need to be logged in and present to start each day. It is vital that we establish healthy routines from the very beginning. If you need support or help in any way, don't ever hesitate to let your child's teacher know, call the school office, or email Mr. Jarot.
Anderson Families, We've got this! Let's Dig In together!
Mr. Jarot
Dear Families,
Between Monday, November 30 and Friday, December 18, students in all District 303 schools and programs will be learning in remote environments. Our staff members and administrators worked tirelessly over the summer and fall to enhance remote learning to ensure that students have access to positive, meaningful learning experiences. You will notice that remote learning is different from what your child may have experienced in the spring. We encourage parents to provide students with a consistent working environment where they have access to technology and other learning materials. If your child will be absent from a remote learning day, please email the teacher and call the school office (331)228-3300, prior to the start of the school day.
Below you will find information about expectations, schedules, and specials during remote learning.
Student, Family, and Teacher Expectations
Elementary school hours will be between 8:00 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. Students are expected to be available and ready to learn during those hours, whether the learning is synchronous or asynchronous
As with in-person learning, students are expected to complete assigned work by the deadlines set by the teachers
We ask that parents allow students to work independently or in collaboration with their teacher and classmates as much as possible
Teachers will provide a weekly schedule that provides synchronous (Live) and asynchronous (a student working on their own) learning times.
Specials and Lunch
Students in grades 1-5 will have a 30-minute daily special (art, music, physical education and LRC). The remote special schedule will be the same as the in-person schedule, with lessons being both synchronous and asynchronous. The special teacher will share the schedule with the students.
Kindergarten students will continue to access 15-30 minutes of asynchronous specials each day.
Students will have a 40-minute lunch break on the same schedule as they had during in-person learning. Student lunchtimes are based on grade level so your children may have different lunchtimes.
