Overview
We hope this communication finds you, and your loved ones, healthy and happy! It is our intention for this document to serve as a beginning framework for the intended plan of elementary remote learning. This is certainly an unprecedented new adventure for all of us. The District recognizes that it cannot fully replicate schooling in the remote setting. Furthermore, we know that the younger the student, the more difficult it becomes to teach them remotely. However, we are committed to creating the best possible experience for students, families, and staff. The chart below displays the general overview of our remote learning implementation plan. Further down the document we outline initial information as we roll into this new style of teaching and learning.
Nothing about this experience is normal, so we must stay patient and accept there will be challenges and mistakes along the way. The partnership between the school staff and our families is critically important.
Parents/Guardians: We realize that many of you are doing “double duty." You are being tasked to partner with us to support the education of your student, coupled with the fact that you must still work and/or manage a household. We are cognizant of this challenge. We attempted to build a system which will be effective, but also simple, clear, efficient, and easy to manage for all families. We pledge to support you throughout this process. We also plan to provide significant flexibility for families, and in turn, we ask that you also provide us with a similar level of flexibility.
Students: Please be kind to your teachers, your classmates, and your family members. We understand if you may be a little worried about learning remotely or sad about missing school. To be honest, we are too.
We sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding, and never ending support as we navigate these uncharted waters!
