important information:
Dear CC Families,
We are so excited to having all of our grade levels back together. We will be back to 4 and a half days starting May 5. [See above for details.]
With the increase of students at school, Distant Learning (at-home learning) will look different from our current practices as teachers will have more students in front of them at school. We ask for your support and partnership as we move forward in this process.
Below is a summary of important points for Distant Learners (at-home):
- Teachers will continue to post assignments on Seesaw or Google classroom.
- [Please note that both in-school and at-home learners will have Seesaw or Google classrooms accounts as in-school learners will need the account for Wednesdays and if quarantining.]
- Teachers will post zoom lesson links during school hours of 8:55am to 3:10pm with the expectations for greater independence to complete assignments.
- Some grade levels may not be using pre-recorded lessons, so please make sure to link into the live zoom lessons as much as possible when assigned.
- Continue to check your child’s virtual classroom daily with your child to view the schedule of zoom links and assignments
Attendance:
· Students will commit to either full in-person or full remote learning for the rest of the school year.
· Attendance will be monitored daily and by period in accordance to the district attendance policy for in-person learners. If a student is not present at school, they will be marked as absent, according to the district policy. They will not be able to switch to remote learning for the day.
· Remote learner attendance will be monitored daily using attendance in zoom mini lessons, check-ins, and or completion of required assignments.
· District policy for vacations will also be in effect, and students will be marked absent if they are on vacation.
· Quarantined students will be moved to remote learning for the period of quarantine only
Wednesdays
- All students will continue to be provided with remote learning and teacher support during their established office hours and/or Zoom meetings until May 5 when students will be IN SCHOOL for a HALF DAY.
Please also see the information sent by Susan Austin, Superintendent and that is posted to the GPS website.
Lastly, please feel free to contact me or your classroom teacher with further questions.
Thank you for your continued support,
Jamie Giordano
