Hello Buccaneers!
Today marks the beginning of our second week of at home learning. I am continuously impressed by the work of teachers and parents who have stepped up to fill in gaps and make things work. Parents are overwhelmed, students miss their friends and teachers are in the space between district directives/technology issues/access challenges/personal life balance/etc. Now we will continue to lead with patience, grace and understanding. Please read below for important reminders for this week!
In an effort to keep communication going smoothly with students, teachers have scheduled certain days to hold conference calls. For example if a teacher wants to hold a "Live Q&A" to clear any misconceptions or questions students might have, he or she will do so on the day assigned for the subject. Each core subject will receive a day to schedule conference meetings with students and electives will split one day. For example, here is the schedule for this week (3/30/2020 -4/3/2020):
Monday: Math (All day)
Tuesday: Science (All day)
Wednesday: Reading (All day)
Thursday: Individuals & Societies (All day)
Friday: Lang Acq & Desgin (9:00am-11:30), 4/3/2020 - PE/Fine Arts (12:30 - 3:00)
Teachers will only schedule conference meetings with their students during their designated day so that each student has sufficient time to receive any additional instruction that may be needed. Conference calls are not mandatory for students unless specified by the teacher. The students can still email and text their teachers to ask questions or set up a different time if needed. The purpose of this is for students to focus on communicating with one teacher at a time and not be overwhelmed with 8 subject meetings all in one day. Students are still required to check into the Google Classroom for each period every day and complete the assigned work.
The schedule listed above will be used for conference meetings every week.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
